    I'd have to relocate the shoe storage from the kitchen cabinet...even if not ripe, my stomach couldn't take it, I don't always inspect the bottoms. Maybe a hanging holder back of the door in the bath, esp if never used, plus a fan just in case. Yuck.

    How much towing capacity does it have, would my Toyota Sequoia V6 handle it?

    • @RichardSites
      @RichardSites  3 роки тому

      Since it is a trailer, it has no towing capacity but it weighs under 3000 pounds so anything with towing capacity over that, plus loaded gear, should have no trouble. Thanks for watching.

    Hi Richard, we just bought a used 2017 model 179 and I am trying to put together a list of the necessary things to take with us on any trip. The one thing I hadn't given much thought to was a Fly Swatter. Good job on the tour of your rig. I also like the storage shelf added to the front of the unit. We may have to consider this for our RV.

    Nice job on the video. I have a 2018 R-180 and I am really interested in seeing how the previous owners of your trailer installed the shelf above the bed. Can you do a video that shows some close ups of the construction? Much appreciated.

      If you will give me your email, I will shoot a little video and give email to you or make a private YT video. I'm getting the trailer ready for our next trip so I would be happy to do this.

      @@RichardSites Yes very familiar with John Mariachi. Great site!Just don't know how you would level side to side if you had to move the camper up on blocks or lynx levelers, once you have leveled end-to-end using the trailer tongue jack.

    • @RichardSites
      @RichardSites  5 років тому

      Personally I think all this leveling is a bunch of baloney. These Class B & C's just pull up and park and that's it. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about getting it level.
      And, I see your point, seems like you would have to do it the other way.
