Hello from OKC!
Hello all,
My name is Mark and my wife and I and 2 little four legged boys live in Edmond Oklahoma. We are currently in the final process of shopping (buying) a TT and are debating between the 2015 models of the Jayco 154BH and the 184BH. I have done some reading and have heard pro's and con's about both but seem to be leaning towards the 154. We are going with the SLX due to our pulling vehicle which is a V8 Toyota 4 Runner. We have had a Jayco pop up in the past, enjoyed our time we spent with that but sold it years ago. We are pretty excited about stepping up to a TT and looking forward to all the times we can spend in it year around. Also very excited about this site. Offers all sorts of great information. Will keep everyone posted on our final purchase. GREAT TO BE HERE!

Congratulations on your decision to get back into camping. Moving up to a travel trailer sounds like a great decision for you and your family. Welcome to The Forum!

welcome
your TV will handle either of those 2 trailers with very little effort. I tow a much heavier 8 foot wide trailer with only my Rav4.
Make sure you buy the trailer you want the first time. Your 4 runner can haul a bigger trailer
What do you like about the bunk houses?

Hello,
We have the 184bh and really like it. When we first purchased it at the beginning of the year we were towing it with a Toyota Tacoma and the Tacoma towed it really well. Since then we have upgraded to a Tundra, which is much better but I really was comfortable towing it with the Tacoma as well. Good luck with your purchase!

Hey, and welcome!! We own the 154 and love it so far. It's just me and the wife and our 5yo boy. We all fit comfortable, though there isn't much room to move around. Most of our time though is out and about. Keep us up to date on what you get!!!

Well we would like something bigger but I have heard war stories about a 4 Runner pulling much longer than 21feet. For the length I like these 2. It is just my wife and I and a few dogs so size is ok. Like I said, would like to go a little bigger but not sure how big we can go and what would be too much.
