Lets see your campers being towed-image-491197841.jpg

My "new to me" 2015 cougar 31SQB. Pulled it home in 60 mph gusting winds!!!😳. Got about 6 mpg over those 160 miles. Other than the battling the wind, the truck pulled the trailer great.

Yes, a rather large bunkhouse with three bunks and a place for two more to sleep. The trailer really is a beast (35'11").

Mine has the 3.5 EB XLT with the max tow package. Got the truck the second week of January. Got the trailer last week. Towed it home from the dealer 140 miles into about a 30 mph head wind. Had no trouble keeping it at 70 mph into the wind (though the millage was about 7.5 mpg)The trailer is 28' and supposed to be only about 4800 lbs empty. We are just about packed now and we are heading south in a couple days.

Here's more trailer...

Default Our new TT

Tracer Air 300 bunkhouse - 6100 lb dry weight. Equalizer WDH - no sway at all. Weighed the truck and trailer (and family) on the way home from taking delivery - 12600 lbs total. (1500 lbs left for "stuff"). The 5.0 pulled the rig very well. Maintained 65-70 with 6th locked out.

We squeezed the truck and trailer onto our local ferry and took the TT out for a test run weekend. The truck pulled well on a twisty road and maintained close to the speed limit of 55.

Well my little popup feels tiny compared to some of y'alls rigs, but we love it! I love the fact that it fits in my garage, is easy to tow, the truck still gets ~14 MPG when towing, double queen beds, and the feeling of sleeping outside still.
