    New Imagine 2150RB in Texas

    My wife has always wanted an RV but we never had anything that could pull one so we only talked about it. But a couple of years ago I bought a new Hemi Grand Cherokee with the tow package. The manual says it can handle a hitch weight of 720 pounds, a trailer weight of 7200 pounds, and a length of 30 feet.

    We read reviews and looked at RVs, nothing dazzled us until we saw the Grand Designs. The 2150RB is within the Grand Cherokee's limits and my wife loves it. We bought it on Sunday but we won't pick up until they get it ready and install the brake controller and anti-sway thing. I already ordered the camera for the rear and getting tow mirrors for the Jeep. Our biggest challenge right now is finding a storage location. I have two appointments in the morning to tour facilities.

    Here's our tow vehicle.

    Welcome and congratulations on the new trailer. According to the specifications, the 2150 has an unloaded hitch weight of 427 pounds. The trailer also has a GVWR (maximum weight) of 6,695 pounds which is well within the capacity of your Jeep. Since you're new to towing, I just want to make sure you understand that you need to keep at least 10-12% of the weight on the hitch to prevent trailer sway. So if you were to load up your trailer to it's maximum allowed weight of 6,695#, make sure you have at least 670 pounds on the hitch. If you do, your towing experience will be much safer and more enjoyable.

    If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask your questions on this forum and we'll try to help you.

    We have been looking for over 6 months, and have been in countless different campers.... However, we have decided on the 2150. It seems like a perfect fit for my wife and I as we downsize from having owned two 5th wheels previously.

    Congratulations to you, and I hope to be making a similar post in the near future.....
