I too tow a travel trailer, a 2003 Nash 19B (5,200lbs max.)
I wish I could have gotten a look at a Nash. I did a lot of consumer research (reading hundreds of owner reports) and the brands that got the best ratio of good owner experiences versus bad were the Nash, Starcraft, K-Z, Crossroads and Jayco models. (I was surprised that Pilgrim and Holiday Rambler were not as well liked by their owners as they have a higher trim level and what seems to be superior materials.)

Unfortunately, I couldn't get close enough to a Nash (Northwood) dealer to drive to in less than a half-day. Pickings are slim for travel trailers these days since FEMA ordered so many for the hurricane evacuees. I almost bought a K-Z Frontier, but ended up with a Jay Flight 29 footer (about 4,800lbs dry.)

I've never towed such a large rig before, so wish me luck.
