towing a camper w/ nomad
New here to the forum so first off HELLO from NC.

I am looking at buying a camper to tow behind my 06 nomad. There are bunches of campers out there just would like to here about some of the experiences with towing them behind their nomad. issues with weight, electrical strain, fuel consumption, hitch used, towing two up, maby even a word or two about preference of camper.
Thanks,
Brian

Hey Brian

I just installed my hitch and am working on getting the wiring to get it up and running. I will post some links to a couple sites tomorrow.

As long as you remember it's there! Other than that you'll suck alittle more fuel but all in all the Nomad is a very good trailer towwer!!! I put 500,000 Km's on Ventures pulling various trailers and the Nomad only lacks in power compared to Venture's. In a cross wind I think the Nomad is alittle better due to it's length!

Hey Brian,

Welcome from another NC Nomad owner. I head to Wrightsville in the summer for fishing with the kids. We need to hook-up on one of those trips. Welcome to the site. Buck

Doc, I have a pop up camper that I'm going to tow behind my Nomad. I have pictures of it in another thread.
