How well does your 150 handle the 23 footer. That length and weight is right around what I'm considering. Thanks.

Handled fine. The midnight snow/ice storm from Provo to St. George Utah was the acid test on the drive home. The advice from the towing section of this forum was right on. The Equilizer WD hitch was the way to go. Glad we decided on a 4 season RV as well. Really impressed with Northwood's line of trailers in the cold. Saw -6 outside at one point while camping - nice and comfy inside.

Could usually maintain about 55mph on the major mountain passes from Legrand, OR down to Ontario, OR. Of course that wasn't the case in the snow storm below Provo UT. All of us that managed to stay out of the ditch (we counted 12 cars and one tractor trailer over the side that night),
stayed at 35mph or so through those passes. But of course that was a road conditions issue, not a load pulling issue.
