New Whitehawk 23 MRB Owners

We're Eric and Teresa from southwest Michigan. Recently purchased the subject travel trailer and have had it out once so far and loved it. We are pulling this beast with a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 liter turbo diesel rated for 7,200 pounds. The engine has plenty of power but the Jeep is probably a little small for the trailer. We have an excellent weight distributing hitch and so far the trailer has towed very well with no problems on cross winds or passing/being passed by semi trucks. We will be taking it across the Mackinaw Bridge very shortly so that will be the ultimate test. We will be upgrading to an F250 class vehicle before we tow it on any longer trips. Love the space in the trailer with the Murphy bed. We will most likely upgrade the mattress. Looking forward to spending a lot of time in this trailer in the next few years!
