My typical usage of this rig was to hook up my Coleman pop-up camper to it, pull the camper to Silverton Colorado, set up camp, run the high passes for a week, then pull the camper home to the Dallas area. No I am not crazy! This rig has been to Silverton Co. (3 times), Boulder Co., and to Moab Ut. pulling the camper. UTTERLY reliable! I live in Gilmer, Tx. and can deliver for a mileage fee.
