couple questions i not sure about your rig on a lot of the class a rv special attention needs to be looked at (the welds fail) i had to have mine modified next what is the tongue weight and trailer weight mi hitch was rated for 350 lbs tongue and 3500 max i had some custom work done now does trailer have brakes you will need them. ok my rig weighs 15,000 454 chevy i pull my 2007 chevy 4 door truck on a dolly that said maybe my thought would be tongue weight issue ill look for your reply

hi all,

i purchased the 22 ' surrey and i'm heading out to my first race of the season. any idea what kind of gas mileage i should get with the surrey? it has the chevy 350 with the gasoline/lp conversion. plan to use gasoline on the road.

thanks,

frank
