Hey from the White Mountains of Arizona!

I am picking up our 2013 Outback 280RS this next week. Very excited!
Our first trailer, so we wanted to start used to see if we like it before diving in to big, new, expensive.

Also, after MUCH research we felt this was the PERFCT trailer for us! We want to haul our Kawasaki Concours sport touring motorcycle with us and use the trailer as a "base camp". All the other "toy haulers" parked motorcycle in the living room, yuk, or had a 12'X 7' garage.....HUGE waste of space for us. Thank goodness for the 280RS! We also have kiddos that will occasionally want to travel with us and "garage" doubles as a second bedroom! PERFECT!

Had trouble finding one of these used and in really good condition, but we finally found one!

Anyone hauling one of these I would LOVE your feedback and or advice.

We'll be towing this 32', 8,000 lb GVW trailer with a 2017 Ford F-250 gasser. It has remote controlled AirLift air bags, we've purchased weight distribution hitch and sway controller. Possibly over kill? Better to be safe than sorry I always say.

Welcome feedback, advice, just a quick howdy, or whatever!

Welcome to the forum from Pennsylvania. And no, that truck is not overkill, it is perfectly adequate for that trailer. That trailer would be overkill for most 1/2 ton trucks. Enjoy the new trailer!
