Thanks for the advice.

*I'm looking at a few ... two are from ProLite (a Canadian manufacturer which seems to have a good reputation) and have been selling quite a few in the US lately ... either the Plus S at 1390 lbs or the Mini at 1150. The Grand Ascape ST by Aliner is a cool option but weighs in with a dry weight...

*Silly question but what you say makes 100% sense and also very good advice ... but if you already have the entire setup which means you already purchased it ... so what if it's way over when you have it weighed?... or in my case trying to get/order/purchase a trailer now with an advertised...

Still looking and at my age ... I'd definitely prefer having a bathroom ... and a cassette toilet is fine with me.

Wow, the SCAMP is supposed to be so light weight. Bad story... sad. I'm looking at gross weight now but also feel fairly comfortable that if I find something really great in the 1200-1300 MAX on dry weight that I really should be ok with that much of a buffer. On the plus side ... if there isn't...

THANKS ... gonna bite the bullet real soon. Was great to get info from people who have experience.

Oops ... my mistake.

This is exactly what a Ford service Mgr told Mr about 15 minutes ago. He said he could add all Ford parts for a class ii tow package but the base model had no way to accept the sway cobtrol software that is factory installed. He didn't mention the transmission cooler so guess I can ask about...

*Forgot to mention that he did say soothing about "sway" software and the BASE model didn't have the ability to utilize the software. So everything that was a physical install was identical but no sway or anti- sway software. So that seemed to take it down from 2000 to 1500 rating for towing. I...

Well, since everything I'd be putting on it for towing would be purchased and installed by them ... so there shouldn't be an issue of voiding the warranty as long as I stay below the recommended tow capacity. It does have conflicting information regarding the base model. In theory if a class ii...

I've looked at this before and didn't like what I thought it was saying. Seems like BASE is 1500 and Big Bend is 2000 ... not sure as to why they are different.

Thanks ... well written and informative. I've gotta go out later and look at the door jamb sticker. I'm aware of what the GVWR but seems like when looking online that weight is difficult to find out but dry weight is always published. Luckily for me, I'm a single 65 yo recently retired school...

Sorry, missed that part. Sounds correct based on other comments and service

Yes, I was having everything done at my local Ford dealership using parts they provide. I have stalled the install because when I went in to order everything the Mgr told me that anything they do to do the install would not be exactly the same as ordering it from the factory. He said the VIN...

This is great, thanks ... BUT if I followed this then I would be able to use maximum trailer weight of 2000 pounds ... that would be great. However, the Ford dealership that was going to do the parts and install of the towing package says 1500 lbs for my VIN since it did not have original...

Ok ... help me out. I didn't order my BS Base model with towing since it was purchased off a lot as is without towing. I'm getting ready to add towing and thought that would give me a 2000 pound (gross weight) towing capacity ... BUT everything I read now, after the fact seems to indicate that...

I've been looking at The Grand Ascape ST by Aliner ... anyone else? If not ... what other ultra lightweight campers (preferably with bath) are you pulling? I've looked at a few teardrops that have potential and see benefits of that design but not a have to. I need to keep the total gross weight...
