Hello Everyone,
I'm in the process of trying to buy my first trailer. Looking at a 2015 Creekside 20FQ, I have one found and just trying to get the stars to align so the seller and myself can make it happen.


I found this site very helpful in my preliminary research so I though I would join.


I'm in Southern Alberta.


Cheers.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.


Arch, I drive a 2012 Ram 3500 - Cummins. It's a former work truck that used to be tooled up with slide out tool boxes. It is a real work horse and has treated me very well, better than the '09 I had.


The truck is fully deleted with a MiniMax programmer, Carli Suspension 3" suspension lift with their long travel air bags.


The air bags are one thing I'm not sure off, as far as trailering goes. I've pulled all types of work trailers with no problems. Trailer loads were often very heavy, dump trailer with a skid steer and gravel, or as many large rolls of teck cable as it would fit.


My thoughts are pulling a travel trailer through the mountains will be different than heavy work loads across the prairies.


The 20FQ I'm trying to buy comes with an Equalizer with 16K bars, so I don't think there will be any issues.
