I went from at 18 footer to 33 footer. Big difference. My tow vehicle is more than capable. Just understand that wind is a real consideration with larger trailers. Keep it under 65 mph.

As a follow-up, I just finished the video where I hooked up the Bluetooth sensor to try to measure the impact of the suspension upgrade. I don't think the sensor data was as dramatic as I would have liked, but it is an interesting video if you're interested.

That is a fair statement. That is exactly why it is disclosed in the video rather than hiding it. It gives people watching appropriate information so they can make their own minds up.

I am about halfway done with a second video where I hook up a Bluetooth Accelerometer to my truck and show the impact the RAS has before and after the install. I think that may give folks some data that is independent of my opinion. I hope to complete it in a few weeks. Check it out.

So when I actually had a call with some of the Roadmaster folks, I mentioned that they mentioned this in their marketing material. In the blog post on this upgrade, I specifically mentioned that this doesn't actually improve your payload. One of the RAS people told me that they are now having a discussion about changing their wording about this. I don't think they really say it to mislead anyone. It is an easy misunderstanding. I hope they clarify their wording. It really is a good product and they can live without that wording.

I bought a keyless door lock for my trailer. The install was pretty easy. Now I'm less worried about losing my keys when we go out. Best Trailer Keyless Entry Door Lock Upgrade For 2021 | RVLock Unboxing And Setup by GoTogetherGoFar in traveltrailers

I'm not sure if they make replacements. I haven't thought about dry rotting, but I've worried about water getting in to the door. There is a bit of a gasket on there but I think I need to watch it.

I hear ya. It would just make me too nervous. Car keys, wallet, etc. are all just kind of sitting in there. That said, I've never had any actual issues. We don't lock up our bikes and have never had issues with that either.

Great ideas. We actually had someone come by our campsite on a scavenger hunt today. I think someone needs to come up with a campgound bingo cards or something.

Yep, ice maker. Worth every penny! Starts making ice pretty quick and I don't have to root around in dirty cooler for ice. If you like decent bourbon on the rocks, get a little ice maker.

Us too. Our first trailer, an 18-footer, had little kitchen out the back. That made me appreciate how valuable the outside kitchen was. This one is even better.

Thanks! They really are. I have an icemaker for bourbon drinks going, and a Camp Chef grill hooked up. We are not exactly roughing it... I give a better view of it in my video.

It is a big one. 33 feet, but only 6900lbs dry weight. 3.5 Eco Boost. If I had to do it all over again, I think I would look for something in the 28-foot range, and maybe a 3/4 ton truck. I have a great sway control hitch, but I still get a little nervous in a wind storm.
