Daddy money. That said, at mid $20K's you can't beat a left over D15. RV warranty isn't worth much anyways and components all have their own warranties separate from the chassis anyways. Really, if you don't want a project RV, buy an Oliver with few features for $110K.

If I lived close to an ROA dealer, it would be worth the premium to me. As it is, it's a lot of premium to not be able to use their services based on my geography. ROA seems to be a class organization for sure.

I'd be curious which plant manufacturers MDC. Just because when I dig around MDC's, I see Compaks, but they claim otherwise. I really know what the look for now and next time I see an MDC I will look for a few things. If anyone knows, please PM me.

Does a different factory make the MDCs?

I have diagrams and they are working on the contract now that spells everything out that is included. Compaks is a major RV provider for the entire planet. It would be similar to ordering a new custom RV from any US manufacturer from a risk perspective. If you are interested in nitty gritty...

Ultimately, it's not power that is the limiting factor in factory tow ratings but instead a combination of axle ratings, brake ratings, stability concerns, heat rejection capability (the gears really help with this), liability, idiot factor, etc. The Jeep sounds awesome, but in reality, it's...

Somewhere in the manuals or online is the listed GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) for that vehicle. It's probably around 6500#s or so. Then he just weighs his modified Jeep loaded and fueled up, and whatever is left is his allowable tongue weight. Beyond that he'll also have a listed GCWR...

I have a very similar low payload capacity on my F150. My truck is a Limited model (lots of content) plus it's got some heavy tires as well as a topper. When I actually weighed my F150 with a full tank and me in it, and I only have 690#s of payload. That's before my family, dogs, gear, a WDH &...

The way that McHitch attaches, it ends up several inches higher. Just looking at it. Also, a stock F250 is the same height as my leveled F150, plus he has the snowplow kit (2") plus gains another 1" in radius going from 33" to 35" tires. I really prefer the hitch that is used on the Opus...

I think if you got your trailer with the front .5-1" lower than the rear it would calm a lot of your sway. My understanding (warning: internet expert here, little real-world experience!) is that when you have a single rear axle and the trailer is sort of 'balancing' on that one axle, and then...

BruderMaximus, if your Superduty lifted? I have an F150 with 2.5" front/ .75" rear leveling kit plus 34.5" tires and by my measurements, My current hitch height with no drop at all is basically perfect for the Opus and MDC (not D15 exactly) I measured locally. The plan is to have a good WDH in...

Not sure I have much of a relationship but I have been in talks for about 8 weeks, and do plan to fly to the factory for a final inspection. The thing is that the Compaks RV structure is really solid, but 'Covid Camper' is a thing where demand greatly outstripped supply and quality control in...

Yep. Are you in Bear Creek?

We're neighbors. We live in Skyridge off of 1826.

In post #1 you say this: "Inside fridge Inside kitchen with 2-burner stove and sink" But I don't see this in your photos. Can you clarify? Thanks

I guess I don't understand what an Anderson connector is? Does it charge your trailer's batteries from your truck while driving down the road? How did you guys add the connector on your truck? Thanks. PS. Still learning!

I think he wore out one of his tires a lot due to poor alignment and shifted the worn tire back to the spare position. It looks like it has a camber adjustment that has either moved on it's own or been intentionally moved.

I'm in to splitting the difference between the absolute comforts of home and the total misery of being in a tent on the ground. Generally, use exercise and alcohol to improve my sleep in mildly uncomfortable conditions. Or even comfortable situations!
