One thing I’m wondering is...the only reason it’s 8’6” is because of the tires, the trailer itself is only 7’ so it’s really only 4” wider on each side of the Colorado. So I guess with some mirror extensions it shouldnt be to bad. It’s also less than half my towing weight limit.

I can only mirror what everyone else has said. The width of your trailer won't be a problem anywhere, except one place. Main street in Hot Springs, Arkansas. That street is narrow with vehicles parked on both sides. I managed it with a dually, so you can take your trailer there, but be prepared. I felt like I only had about 3 inches of room of each side of me. Crazy narrow roads.
Other than that, my dually and 8.5' wide camper go everywhere.

That is in reference to motorhome length. Pulling a 19' trailer that articulates at the hitch with a Colorado should get you in 100% of all campgrounds.

You can always find some campground somewhere that only accept the very smallest truck campers, don't let this worry you too much, with a travel trailer you can often unhook and park the tow vehicle in a T across the end of the site, this would put your overall length at under 30 ft.

That sounds great thanks. Just got into Maryland shouldn’t be to long now. Here is another concern I had. When I was down there a few days ago the thing smelt like the inside of an epoxy gun. I asked them if they could please vent that thing out while they spend the couple days prepping it. Does anyone know how long that epoxy will gas off for... man I can’t imagine trying to sleep with that smell.

Unless the odor makes you feel ill, which a few people it will, after a couple days you'll notice it less and less.

Maybe it was really bad because it hasn’t really had time to vent out yet that’s what I’m hoping for it can’t be to healthy to sleep with that stink. They said it’s right off the assembly line pretty much had been there sense June. They must keep all the windows locked up ect.

Yes, they do, because no one buys a brand new dusty, dirty, dead bug filled trailer.
