Oh...that's nearby!  I haven't been there since I was a kid!  If  I'm still here maybe we can meet up.  :)

We tow with a new Dodge Durango! We drive 2200 miles round trip from Florida to Ohio to save $10,000 on the new 195. I ordered it with TV, hitch and microwave. I didn’t want the outdoor kitchen.   We will be driving to eastern Canada in August!

thanks for the heads up! I'm in north central MA! got mine at Pete's RV in Plainville, MA but they didn't know if or when they'd be getting any of the 195's. I didn't want to go over 20' on my first one and have a 2015 Ford Explorer AWD. Pulls the 179 without an issue even with full tanks!

what are you towing the 195 with? And going to Maine? are you in New England? if so mind me asking where you found the 195? I just bought a 179 as my first... but really liked the layout of the 195.

My 179 came with the outside kitchen as well but am looking to remove it as its the only outdoor storage to the camper! valuable space right there!

ps... CONGRATS!!!

Hi tonga, I am towing with a 2015 Nissan Frontier. Its rated at 6300 pound tow capacity, I believe I won't quite hit 80% of my capacity. Yes i'm in new england. I found mine in connecticut, they had only 2, I'm the first one they sold. I was up in new hampshire at coldsprings r.v, they say they'll have some in july. I'm telling you, this thing is really awesome.

Ye of little faith.  I see frontiers pulling double axles many times. I know a guy that pulls almost 6000 pounds quite often. the 195 is only 1000 pounds more than my 172 which I pull effortlessly. I do not anticipate an issue. If I towed in the rockies everyday, maybe I'd worry.
