Nice set up but that trailer sure rides high off the ground. Is it made for backroads and boondocking?

We have a similar setup, when the slide out is full-size floor-to-ceiling the wheel wells can't be recessed up into the body. It does give you plenty of ground clearance which is a plus.

My 2011 max tow ecoboost with timbrens and a non slider B&W hitch. Trailer is a 2013 Rockwood Ultralite model 8280ws with the Sidewinder pin box. Even with the 5.5' bed on the truck, no clearance problems. I can turn as tight as I want going forward. Haven't tried to jacknife it going backwards yet, and don't see a need to. I have towed for about 1500 miles already, and the towing experience is very comfortable. Pulled a couple of 6000 ft. passes in Utah, and it did just great. Coming from a Chevy duramax to this ecoboost, and I am very impressed with the low end torque.

I took our Jayco 23b out for a spin this weekend, and it was cold, wet and well relaxing. This was a picture from shortly after I bought the truck, it does a good job pulling the trailer, but gas milage sucks (10.2 on my way out, and 8.9 on my way back). I know I need to get a new shank for my weight distribution hitch, so don't blast me too hard for that issue.

[/IMG]Our 08 Screw with our 11 Jacyo Jay Feather, 29' The 5.4 handles it like a toy. I've had many Trucks & Trailers, this is the best. Picture was taken the day we picked up the trailer. I traded my 03 Terry 27'
