Lets see what you are towing!

I passed on 2 bw200s at an auction 10 years ago. Both needed work but went for 500 bucks each. Definitely still kicking myself for that. Found a fat cat locally about a year ago. It was immaculate but the guy wanted 3500. Probably worth it but not to me, for what I'm going to use it for. I did finally get an fl350 though. Been wanting one of those since the late 80s. Got it right but needed the engine rebuilt. It should be ready to rip soon.
Buddy of mine used to have one of those back in the day. We'd stand on the back so he could do wheelies down the block.
 
Took the family camping to try out the new to us toy hauler. Cruised 65mph and dash says 12.3mpg so I’m guessing actual will be a high 10 or 11 which is better than my 70mph trip when I bought it. Also left the 5lbs in my airbags vs the 10lbs I tried before and seemed smoother. Honestly thinking about removing the airbags as I don’t have the truck camper anymore.

The fact that she don’t let you ride may be why it has lasted 30 years.:p

I’ve never ridden the Fat Cat, but have scooted around on a TW200 a few times. Those things are a lot of fun. No comparison to my 2 stroke enduro.

Nice Work & Play. My buddy has one which is about 22 ft long. He flipped the axels for additional ground clearance, but is now paying an additional fuel mileage penalty. He pulls it with a 2500 CTD and typically gets around 10-11 mpg at 68 mph.

Thanks, we really like it and they are hard to find. Ours is 21ft box and 25ft overall. Ground clearance is decent actually better than I expected, but I could imagine with the extra height how much taller it would be and create more drag.
 
Finally got the new solitude out this past weekend.

Have you been over a scale with the Solitude? Looking to get a 390RK-R soon, and curious how close the published pin weights really are.
 
I have not. Sorry.
