Hey folks.
I own the Canyon AT4 Long Box Diesel.
My wife and I are looking at Travel Trailers. I have an eye on the Sportsmen SE 260 BHSE. 4,780lbs.
I figure with the wife, dog, kid, gear, and a buddy additional 1,200 lbs. This puts me at 5,980lbs = 77.% to capacity which is 7,700lbs.
I keep reading 80% rule, and do not max your rig out, if this is accurate, I would think this would be the sweet spot for my rig.
If go with a nice weight distribution hitch, do you all think I am good with my truck?
I have a buddy that says I am being to conservative, but I am not into white knuckling going somewhere.
We live in Iowa, so not a lot of major hills, but a few.
Also is it good to keep around 65 miler per hour if Interstate is 70 miles per hour?
Thanks and hopefully I generate a good conversation here as I am about 12-months out on making a decision.
