[font size="2"]Just purchased a new 2016 14DBS mfg. in Aug. 2015. Dealer had this custom built on a Bearcat 5" frame, off road package with 3" riser welded to frame, 15" off road tires. Wheels are outside the body, not under, this gives me a 8'5" footprint also has 2 5/16 hitch. Single axle but everything on my list was single axle even the Lance 1575. I live about 30 miles west of Denver on I 70 and the trailer pulled great even when semi's came by. I'm pulling with an FJ cruiser, 5000 lb. GVWR, pulls a little slow going up the big hills. Dealer had this built thinking he would sell some off road 14's but Thor shut down that idea. Lance now has a 2017 model 1475, lots of Azdel. Said they were listening to their customers. Still wouldn't trade my CL for it.[/font]

Wow, sounds heavy duty! By all means post a photo of that bad boy. With that trailer and that tow vehicle, you can literally "head for the hills".
