Pacifica as a TV
Patricia,
We did pull our new 2007 3023 for a full season of camping with our 2004 Pacifica. I never had any problems or any safety concerns. I did have an Equalizer WDH installed, and would never have towed with out it with the Pacifica. We also were very conscious of weight when we packed, and never towed with the water tank full. We camped mostly in the midwest, so were almost always on relatively flat terrain. We did vacation in Kentucky, and the hills there "tested" the limits of Pacifica. That was enough to convince us that we needed to upgrade our TV for our trip to Yellowstone this summer. In retrospect, we definitely felt that this was the right move. Getting up and over, and also getting down, the Big Horn mountains would have been very uncomfortable in the Pacifica.
In summary, if most or all of your camping is to be throughtout the flatlands, your Pacifica should suit you well, provided you pack with its limitations in mind. If you are going to spend time in the mountains, and/or want to be able to bring anything your like, then you should consider upgrading. Of course, all of this IMHO...
