Today I am the proud new owner of a 2010 Fun Finder X210WBS!! My first RV and horredously exciting!!!
I have an older 4runner (1996), but it is well maintained and runs great. It is a V6 and towing max. is stated at 5000 lbs.
My trailer has the Xtra Fun pack (awning, A/C, blah blah) and the shipped weight on the Certificate of origin is 3760 lbs. - dry weight on the brochure is 3400 but that's the basic pkg. Planning to camp with services, so not hauling water for sure, simply me, Boyfriend, dog + food.
Anyone towed with a similar combo? What are these super cooler tranny things I've seen discussed? Read some feedback on older 4Runners on here and am a little worried about my decision. These vehicles are pretty rock solid and I have faith it'll do the job with no complaints.
I've read a bunch of stuff about the WD and sway hitches so will be sure to purchase something appropriate. The trailer won't be coming home for a few months - dealer is storing it until spring as we can't get it in the yard due to the current 3.5' of snow/ice back there!! Meeting him(dealer) later in the week to learn all the basics about the new toy so I can ask him some questions then too I guess.
Any tips for a newbie greatly appreciated!
One weeklong family trip is already planned (July/aug in Kimberley, BC)! I was to be the odd one out with my tent and two other RV's, but now we'll be the envy of them all!!
