We have a 36 ft. 2000 Damon Challenger and we tow a Honda Element. This will be our first trip to FW, but we've traveled up and down the East coast with it. We love our 'second home'

We will be at Disney November 22 - Dec 9th.

This is the rig we took to FW in March 2005

2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 3500, 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel, Automatic Transmission, 2004 Carriage 36foot, three slider, Fifth wheel. Doing 60 to 65 mph we got as low as 10 mpg and as good as 12.8 mpg on one tank. This was our first long distance trip with the rig. ( The cargo trailer you see in the picture, we pull behind the fifth wheel when we take our Harleys with us. )

Have fun.

Nice rig Bradisgoofy. Question, how do you back it all when you have the cargo tailer in tow? Or do you have to un-hook it and back it separately? Can't imagine pulling into a fuel station or fast-food joint with all of that.

Thanks Minnie's Mate.

When I am pulling the train, ( that is what they call recerational doubles ) I must be very careful where I pull in, because you can't back up with both trailers hooked up. I can go into any restaurant that has RV parking because the cargo trailer will track exactly the same as the fifth wheel. So if I can make the turn with the fifth wheel, I can get in with the train. When camping, I always ask for a pull thru lot, although I have stayed at a couple of places where I had to drop the cargo trailer out in the parking lot, before I pulled into my camp site. FW is a good example, they only have two pull thru lots in the whole park. Also, I have a camera mounted on the back of the fifth wheel and an in dash monitor, to keep on eye on the cargo trailer.

Have Fun.
