30' Bunkhouse, what to tow with?

Hi

Sounds like a good combination !!

Suggestion: Measure your length when you are parked somewhere doing nothing. That saves the panic when somebody says "max length 54 feet " and you don't know if you are just under or just over.

We just drove it at altitudes above 10,000ft and on inclines / declines of 7°+ over the Rocky Mountains between Evergreen, CO and Moab, UT where we're now parked. The truck performed wonderfully. It didn't slow down on the ascents and I love the exhaust brake for holding speed without braking on the descents. Motorcycle & ramp / Weber Q grill / 5 bicycles / and other odds and ends fit great in the 8 foot bed. The only potential problem I can foresee is that my overall length is way, way long. Getting into some campsites might be a problem. Thanks for all the replies.

Congrats! I have a very similar setup and probably identical in length. Some sites are fun to get into, but don't give up - just take it slow and use spotters.
