re: camper experience requeated. towing recommendations.
Posted by termite on 8/1/14 at 6:43 pm to MaroonOldCrow
Of couse I have a brake controller and the brakes engage properly. I'm just saying when you're going down a steep gradient you are gonna feel the camper push some if someone pulls out in front of you. Also push is probably not the best word to describe the sensation since its the same feeling when just a vehicle slams on the brakes except with more weight.Not a big deal until it is.

Brakes were working great, just had more weight to push the truck further down the slope. Issues only really occurred when idiots pulled out in front of me at the last minute. My truck almost stops too well with the camper, which I was reminded of 2 weeks ago when it was bumper to bumper from Mobile to Gulf State Park.
I've got a 2010 F-150 5.4L and use a weight distributing hitch. Currently on the second camper, first was 8500# plus. Truck pulled it like a boss but felt a little unsure a few times in sudden braking situations on slopes. New camper is 7000# max and it has made a world of difference as far as stopping goes. Everyone talks about how much can I tow, but the real question is how much can I control? Also,if you plan on ever leaving Louisiana for a trip to somewhere like Arkansas or Tennessee I would stay in the 7000# ballpark.
