Went from this . . . to THIS!

Officially traded my 2000 Kiwi for our 2018 Eagle HT.

Bet you couldn't believe it's enormity when you walked inside it for the first time. What a great feeling it is to stretch out and not bump into each other or friends anymore .

Thanks everyone! You've all been a wealth of info in helping us decide. The Kiwi was originally purchased in 1999 and was a new 2000 model year. My late husband and I took our kids on some fun adventures It was an 'upgrade' from a Jayco popup! We purchased a new 2017 F250 with tow pkg and 5th W prep. After alot of research on this forum and lots of good advice we got the 18K Reese Sidewinder and not the slider hitch. Very happy with that decision (tho we've only taken it to a vacant parking lot to practice and to our storage facility). The easiest decision was our dealer - have known the owners for over twenty years and they were the best.

VERY NICE! We love our 2017 HT 27.5RLTS. and I tow it with my 2016 F-150 with a 5 liter engine with no issues. Your F-250 will tow it like a dream with no effort at all. Good deal and enjoy.
