I focus on 5 types of videos. 1. I review trucks and SUVs from Ford, GMC, Chevrolet (Chevy), RAM (Dodge), Toyota, Nissan, and others. 2. I review accessories for both RVs as well as Pickups and trucks. 3. I review RVs, including Class A, Fifth Wheels, Travel Trailers, Class B and Class C coaches. 3. I do general "Ranting" videos where I talk about vehicles, towing, and give my general opinion on various topics. 4. Vehicle upgrade and installation videos on various accessories either I am installing or that are being installed on other vehicles. 5. Interview videos with experts in various fields related to trucks and RVs.
I am proud to have Ranch Hand Bumpers as a channel sponsor and a huge supporter of what I do.

I'm confused are you saying that is the biggest you would pull with a standard hitch with no sway control?
I know you are more into the big toys, but what is your opinion on a small travel trailer with one of the new ford rangers? Spec wise it fits but what about real life? I’m thinking along the lines of 16 to 18 foot. Around 3500lbs dry.
I agree with the advice in general, specifically in regards to the affects of surface area on handling. I think everyone has seen that guy pulling a 30'plus multi-slide RV with a 1/2 ton and you can tell it is far exceeding what should be considered safe.
That being said, I'd err on the side of saying this video is a little too conservative in terms of the maximum recommended size.
In particular, the trailer is repeatedly referred to as a 6,000 lb camper.
The camper has a dry weight of 3,794 lbs and a cargo capacity of 2,184. It's safe to say the dry weight is underestimated, but even if you assume 10%, that adds an additional 379 pounds.
2,184-379(assumed options/propane)-300lbs (water) leaves you with 1,500 pounds of cargo.
You'd have to try pretty hard to get 1,500 pounds of cargo in a camper this size.
Can I tow this unit with Chev Colorado witch has 7000 towing capacity.
That ain't my 85 Toyota 🤣
these things you make is awesome
Wow! ❤️ Great Vlog!
Great Video 👍🏿 What makes you travel?
That thing has barely enough power to get itself off the line
Brilliant video footage! Up here at Y&S FOOD! we like to discover such type of content. We produce Travel & Food video as well, throughout the world, and also we are habitually seeking inspirations and vision. Thank You.
Nicely done!!!! You will be seeing me
Love your videos! Can you show a fifth wheel that could be towed by a 1/2 ton?
I have the smaller Apex Nano, sorry to say the quality of the build is lacking. Sometimes I think it was put together after a night of serious drinking! A lot of missing fasteners, snapped screws, hanging wires, and contact paper. Window above bed look nice but would be nicer if it opened. We pull it with a Chevy Colorado which handles it ok since the trailer is pretty light.
I agree with your weight assessment. Our trailer is about the same size & weight pulled by a Ram 1500 and while it could pull more its a comfortable weight.
EXTRA TALL??? LMAO!!!!!! I am 6'6" tall, and I have NEVER seen or been in a tounge hitch travel trailer, that I could stand up in..... THEY DO NOT EXIST.......... 🤔
Hey, we have that Apex Nano, but the smaller version lol! I do like coachmen very nice brand, are’s is a 2016 and we keep it at a campsite on Mille Lacs lake (MN)
A lot of people not fuller thinking thing this thru . Will these half tons pull more than rated yes won't argue that. Say you get in an at fault accident . Depending on state or cops mood they weigh your pile of wreckage ends up over gcvr whoops your screwed extra fines insurance won't pay etc. Better a few pounds safe than sorry.
A guy that wants to test his towing capability should drive over TETON PASS with his camper and see how he feels afterwards.
is this an Ad for this particular coach? I would recommend the Rockwood Mini Lite, 5000 pounds dry and amazing amenities, plus a giant window over the bed as well.
I've only watched a few videos but I'm finding them very useful. After reading through some of the comments you may consider doing a video on the little yellow sticker on the drivers door if you haven't already. Our new Ram 1500 is "rated" for 1800# payload but I only have 1524# after factory accessories and fuel. We'd kicked around 5th wheels but I'd need to loose 30# just to stay under GVWR with a 1300# pin weight. Settled on a 26BH (31') just shy of 6k dry but like you said TT have lots of surface area and wind resistance = wind speed x area^2.
