Hey All.....

Well we just brought our new Jayco Hybrid travel trailer home from the RV dealer in Cincinatti, about a 3 hour drive from us.

We stopped at a state park on the way back and set it up for the week-end.

I had some reservations on how the Ex would do towing it, but I have to say it did pretty well. Obviously we were not "screaming" down the highway, but we maintained 60 - 65 mph. We had a full load of passengers (5), and the A/C going full force (it was about 100 degrees), and lots of luggage. We kept it in over-drive with the Tow feature on, and the rpm's stayed at around 3000 to 3200 and the temp gauge didn't budge.

With the right WDH and sway control, I have to say that I was pleased with how it did.

Here's a couple of pics:
