Will post pics tomorrow but had to share I just towed my new toy hauler home today - 2009 KZ Inferno 3812. 40 Feet long and weighed at the scales at 14,200#. Must say was a little nervous about how my 3/4 ton rig would do. With only a set of airbags as modification I have to say it did great. Haul was about 80 miles with some fairly good hills and no problems. Felt very safe and stable too. Braking better than my 35 foot 10,000# 5er I traded in.
Have 6 inches bed rail clearance. Pulls very good. Really no swaying and honestly less bouncing chucking than my smaller one I traded in - probably because of all the pin weight - LOL!
Thanks! Been trying to upgrade to toy hauler for about 4 years and think I've got a good one. Was a 2009 that had been on the dealer lot since July of 2008 so he was ready to deal. If in the market, a lot of dealers have old but new inventory they are ready to move.
Garage space is 12 x 8
Also has a built in kegerator in the garage!:drink
Went with a standard 5th wheel but got a "Sidewinder" hitch on the trailer side of things - can turn 90+ degrees without getting close and no damn slider to have to mess with.
Nice looking set-up, I almost went with the inferno, but my wallet liked the sportster a little better, I have been very happy with kz! My daughter also learned a little trampoline saftey a couple of weeks ago, enjoy the trailer!
How many pounds of air are you folks running in the air bags to help with that much weight? MIne max at 100 but with 30 lbs the 9000k tungue camper only lowers the whel well about 1.5 inches. Should I run more??
DRW, 1psi for every 100 lbs of pin weight. SRW, 1psi / 60 lbs is a good place to start. I can't see you needing much more than 15psi or so for your 9k tag trailer.
just watch out backing up tight corners ive folded tires over on tri axles before in camp grounds on small lots!!! nice toy hauler
