Hi,
Michelle and I (Steve) are brand new to four wheeling and RVing. We fell in liked RVing so much in July we decided to buy a Land Cruiser and Travel Trailer this last month. Land Cruiser is a 200 series 2018 with All-Terrains. Travel trailer is 30 feet long and uptown 7400# loaded.
Any advice anyone can provide regarding the following questions would be greatly appreciated. Trying to be safe and prepared.
1) Towing - LC has 8100 lb tow capability. The travel trailer is 30', 5700# dry, and 6500-7400 loaded. Installing a Curt 17062 Weight Distribution & sway bar unit and Curt Echo bluetooth brake controller.
2) Do we need extra wide mirrors? Recommendation on type? is there a camera system that can be mounted that works like the new Ford or Chevy for virtual 360 viewing?
3) Driving to Chicago from Seattle in Nov/Dec. How risky is it pulling this trailer if it snows?
Thank you in advance, Steve
