All very interesting points! I do think for me, the safety of the second axle is a bonus...I seem to have that odd luck sometimes! My luck, I'd blow a tire on the way home from the dealer!
As for a 25' Safari, they range I see from 7,000 to 7300 lbs depending on layouts. One big thing I didn't notice before is wide body vs not...had no idea they came in different widths! Learning something new all the time...which is key. My GVWR is actually 8950...so even at 7300 lbs I'd still be at 80%. Question for you...and this is a nitpicky thing. Can you measure the distance from your receiver to the center of the rear axle for me? I just want to see something I've read before, about the TV wheelbase being at least half what I just asked for. Although, I'm planning on buying a Hensley anyway...so probably won't matter. Do you have the Safari SS? That is a COOL trailer!
We are bad weather people. We like going out in the rain, snow, etc. Probably spend more days camping in Tahoe in the winter than any other months. Another reason for a bit bigger trailer, being stuck inside in real bad weather...although it is beautiful up there in the summer as well.
Then there is the 22' CCD. The thing I really like about the 22' International that I don't see anywhere else is the front bed. Maybe the 25' Safari FB as well...but I like the huge wrap around glass around the bed...TOTALLY SWEET! But I digress, in the long run, it will be all what my DW likes (as long as it is an Airstream).
Great imput everyone! Keep it coming!!
Thanks
Sam
