Capri Camper makes a mid-size slide-in that has an optional shower. About 1100 lb so I would add airbags to the rear axle.Probably gonna be hard to find a slide in with a shower and toilet for a small truck.
I have an 84 Skamper and there is no room for any of that. It is fairly comfortable for two though...
There's really nothing complicated about the light connection.Oh, sure. Hit me with logic. Mostly what I want to pull is my '65 Bus, over the whopping distance of 4 miles to a wonderful person's repair shop so he can put my old Bug's engine in it (the tow bar, I have already), but yeah, there's a chance that at some point I'll think I want to tow something else, where lights will become an issue.
It’s all semantics but...Is this the part you're talking about (roughly speaking, that is)?

(Asking because I'm pretty new to all of this and really unsure what all is included in a "tow package") :/
If there’s any question of the bolts condition... replace them. If they’re rusty, bent, stretched, cruddy looking, or if you pick one up and sneeze... replace them. Better safe then sorry. If they’re in good shape, I’d reuse them.New stupid question: I found and acquired a receiver and draw bar (as named above) at a wrecking yard. I pulled it from a 2002, and while I didn't get the wiring, I did get four bolts and the six backing plates/shims that were on the donor vehicle. Went to U-Haul today, to see if I could get a hand installing the thing, and they want me to buy a whole new bolt package in addition to the $75 labor. Don't think I'll go back, since I have friends that will help with the labor for considerably less, but what about the bolts and shims? Do I really need new bolts, do you think? There was at least some good news; the tow guy said he's done enough installations on Rangers that he was confident the bar would fit my '93 (No one has yet held it to the space and actually compared, but let's not go crazy or anything).
This was one of my thoughts, too, which led to my bringing the question here to people who don't have that same concernIt could just be their company policy when installing hitches. All it takes is getting sued once....
