Title: Got the Niagara home last night
Post by: Hackker on Jun 29, 2007, 08:12 AM
Pretty much my first time towing.....anything.  Well, okay I did back a empty boat trailer into the water a few times, but that was the extent of my towing experience.  Needless to say I need a LOT of practice.  haha  

While we were waiting to get the hitch installed, we checked out a few bigger trailers on the lot (25-29').  When we got into ours, I was really amazed at how much space it had in comparison.  Definitely enough room that we could spend 1-2 weeks in with a family of 4.  

Heading out for July 4th for a 2 day trip nearby, I'll have to post pics when we get back.

We love our 2005 Niagra. I thought about getting a large trailer, but our PU sleeps more and has all the amenities we need. After a few times out with it you'll establish a routine of setting up and taking down.

Have Fun!

Like Eric, we also have a 2005. On one trip we towed ours from SoCal to Knoxville, TN and back. It was a wonderful 36 days. The photo below was taken at a campground in Texas [on that trip].

I recommend these magetic rods for backing up. It will prevent allot of yelling.

Congrats. on a  great rig.

Backing up takes time and practice, take it slow and remember
when the DW says left she probably means right! :p
Have a great summer and enjoy your new PUP.
