So this conversation ended up moot since we got hit again and this time worse. Softball hail basically pummeled the door side and the wind actually moved the entire rig and bent the support jacks. Now I have to go through the insurance. Now the question is will they total it.

How long did it take for that repair to be done? I've got dings on the front façade and the left siding but nothing super serious.

Yea I know about the insurance but my concern here is what if the damage isn't much higher than the deductible. It wouldn't be worth a claim in that case. I didn't think about the resale so that's a good point.

So spring weather in Texas has struck and an early hail storm has made a crater face out of the front of my trail runner. Has anyone ever dealt with this? I'm wondering about costs, downtime, and is it worth it?

So why would you not? I'm still new to this so I'd like to hear why. GVRW of the 150 is 6800. After the truck weight, I've got 1763 to play with. After the tounge weight, I'll have 1000 for passengers and cargo (though I could add it to the trailer). So with those numbers, I'd like to hear...

Yup that's the one I quoted, 5860#. I'll get it to a scale soon but that's what I went off of when choosing the unit. As far as stopping, one neat feature the 2016 has now is sway "control" which is to say it monitors yaw and pitch and when it exceeds tolerance, it will automatically apply the...

I'll be looking into that one ...thanks Mike H

No we ensured all tanks were empty, even with the low drain. Mike H

The dry weight on the trailer based on the tag on the unit itself is 5860. One of the reasons we picked this guy was it was within our f150 config we got (11800 tow capacity on the 3.5 eco with a 3.55 axle) Mike H

Hi all My wife and I are now new owners of a 2014 29rk. I felt we did well with the unit and overall feels like a great fit for us. We are using a new 2016 f150 with the 3.5 eco as the TV. Our drive out of the dealership was harrowing as, being this was our first trailer, I found out what sway...
