Our Rig

We have a 2010 Nissan Armada, Charolais, tow vehicle and a 2015 Tracer M-300 Air by Forest River, affectionately named Dixie.

Our Armada while in great shape with low miles when we purchased didn't have a factory tow package installed. The 5.6 liter V8 provides plenty of power. We've done a few upgrades to get Charolais ready to tow which we will dive into below.

We purchased our travel trailer, Dixie, used in July of 2020 after a bit of searching and missing on the specific floor plan we needed. Having 4 boys we wanted 4 bunks and didn't wan the hassle of making the dinette and/or sofa up as a bed nightly. Additionally the 4 bunks gives each of them a little bit of personal space. Also, we were looking for a trailer around the 6,000 pound mark in to not exceed Dixie's towing capacity.
