I'm considering a 2500 as well. Could you tell me was it worth the upgrade for you?  Can you talk about the how the new truck tows compared to the old?[/p][p]

[/p][/quote]Sorry, I know this is old but in case anyone else needs the info, even though the RAM 1500 towed the trailer just fine (no sway or anything) the Ram 2500 is just as solid plus I have an extra 900lbs of payload (or kids growing up) without hitting the payload limit.  1/2 ton trucks will run out of payload with a toy hauler before the towing limit is hit.  Some people like to gamble, I don't.

Can someone tell me what brand/model of roof vent fans the VRV basecamp uses?  the crank thing stop working and need to get a replacement.  I took off the interior trim and took out the part but nothing is marked on it and already bought 2 of the wrong ones!

thanks
Steve
