Carol & Lou cornell

We took our Elkmont from Florida up through Georgia, SC, NC Va and Md this summer, through rolling hills and up major highways. No big pulls through mountains. Have a Toyota V6 Highlander with a tow rate of 5000 lbs. Had no trouble on roads or highways. We have a weight distribution hitch and sway was not an issue, even on I-95 when trucks went by, so that worked well. Noticed reduced 3 -4 mpg mileage difference over when we'd travelled with the 3124, but convenience of the upright was well worth it to us. We're both around 60 years old and while set up of the 3124 wasn't hard, we like not having to do it anymore. Honestly, the thing we like the best is the full size refrigerator, holding tank toilet and walk around queen size bed. Also, being able to pull into a rest stop and get lunch in the camper is another plus for us. We travel with 2 dogs, and if we want to leave the boys in the camper for a few minutes while we both go into the convenience store at the gas station, now we can do that. We don't use the installed table, we use TV trays instead, which gives us walking around room. We're thinking about buying a new truck next year as a TV to take a trip west through mountains, but are still in the thinking stage. Honestly, the only thing that would make the Elkmont better for us would be a slide out, but of course that would add a lot of weight. This summer want to go up the east coast to Maine and New England to visit friends and come back down through NC and Tennessee, then maybe over to Texas for more visits. Can't wait!
