The Alliance folks have been great, just had a few issues and they resolved them quickly. We had looked at the 390MP before deciding on the 385FL, but thought the bunk room was not as useful for us as our kids are all grown now. Payload was a concern, truck rated payload is just over 3,900#. Weighed at a Love's and it looks like fully loaded with passengers, pets and gear we are sitting at 3,758#. The large storage bay in the rear of the 385FL has allowed me to put heavier items (Ebikes, grill, etc.) behind trailer axle and remove some weight from the hitch. It was also a reason I went with the GenY hitch instead of a fifth wheel. If we need to boondock and fill our fresh tank up, somethings going to have to go, if it's a very long drive.

16 foot 10ton tri axle dump. Light work in this pic but a more recent pic of the setup
@RichM752 - It's nice to see a gasser pulling a 5w. What was your mileage for the trip home?
Towed some toys to the desert this weekend.
@gimmie11s - that looks like 4 stroke territory. (I ride a 300 2T in the woods). Are those YZ's doing ok in the sand?

What is this gas you speak of? It's a Cummins. As for mpg, I didnt calculate it, but I always say 10.
LOL @debaged Cummins.

Blasphemy!!
They do great in the sand. Im assuming you ride a KTM... those 300's are cool machines -- would love to have one and probably will some day. I read they make something like 55 horsepower which is crazy.
We also had this gem out on the same trip. Bike absolutely rips. Good times.
Brutal nailed it. A debadged Cummins. That's a first for me.

The good old CR. Classic.
You're right about the KTM. Here's mine (and my son's 300 2T Beta):-

Not exactly street legal, but Missouri is pretty chill about some things. Both of these bikes are plated with tags good until June 2024.
Horsepower is listed as “55+”. I’m not sure if the hp is affected by adjusting the power valve, but it has 3 settings - fast, really fast, and beam me up Scotty

Getting us back on topic. Not a great angle.
My little 7x14 cargo trailer with 30amp service, AC, awning, cabinetry, basic amenities, and I can still stuff 3 street bikes or 5 dirt bikes into it (plus 2 in that wonderful 8’ bed).
