It’s pulled with a 2004 gas Dodge Ram 1500. I’ll probably do a two-year review in May.simplelivingandsimpletravel.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970849434918305009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264856158531934287.post-11232712513761510272015-02-08T21:25:03.794-08:002015-02-08T21:25:03.794-08:00If I may also ask... what do you tow your 17k with...If I may also ask... what do you tow your 17k with? I have a 2001 Dodge Ram diesel and wonder how the Nash would pull. It seems like a fairly heavy trailer for its size. <br /><br />How is the Nash on bad roads? With my Hallmark I went on truly terrible "roads" at times, crawling in 4-low. I don't expect that with a trailer, but hope to be able to camp on some "roads" that deter the less determined. <br /><br />My son and I have camped at many of he locations you describe in your blog. Unfortunately, in NM they recently closed much of the public land we used to camp on. We tend to avoid camp grounds and find isolated spots where we can be alone.Greg in Los alamoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564321355872929120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264856158531934287.post-40882280577495395152015-02-08T11:51:29.155-08:002015-02-08T11:51:29.155-08:00Found your blog because I'm looking at Nash 17...Found your blog because I'm looking at Nash 17k trailers. I enjoy your writings, and it seems we share a lot of interests and opinions. I'm planning on retiring from Los Alamos lab in a couple years and want to see the country, the west in particular. I've done a lot of off grid camping with a Hallmark slide-in pop-up but just sold it as I want to be able to drive away from camp to fish, hike, whatever. Are you still happy with your Nash? Any advice other than what you posted in your blog? Is it decent on bad dirt roads? I had been thinking about the Livinlite all Al brand, but they are so expensive and spartan I'm having second thoughts. I think I would get an AC as at some point we likely would go south and east and that's tough to do in the summer w/o AC. Keep up the writing!Greg in Los alamoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564321355872929120noreply@blogger.com
