[A/S] Re: Bvan & Safari (was Newbie - need opinions on size)

Great for day trips durning an extended vacation too. We pick a 
central RV Park and then sight see in the van, even overnight rather 
than cutting a visit to an interesting spot short. When returning to 
the Safrai, it like getting home with a full size shower and all.

We are thinking about getting a piece of proterty in the snow about 
three hours from home and putting the trailer there for the winter. 
Like a cross country ski cabin. We'll keep its water systems dry so 
not to freeze and use the systems in the van. Now all I have to do 
find the $$. The trailor has wall and ceiling carpeting, except for 
end caps, which really helps the insulation (heat/cold,and noise).

By the way the B190 is like a tank in the snow. The low end torque of 
the diesel climbs snowy hills with ease. 

I have seen the tread on sway control/equalizer/and special hitches. 
I have a factory class V on the van and just drop the hitch on the 
ball. I have not had any sway or control problems, even in heavy 
crosswinds or passing trucks. I guess the 9000+ lb van stabilizes the 
whole setup. I do keep the tounge weight up with water in the tank 
when taveling.
