We went from a Vegas to a Windsport 31S and really enjoy the extra room. For us the Vegas was great for weekend trips but longer that a weekend or if you have a rainy day it got small especially with a couple of dogs. Glad we mad the move.

That's awesome! How long have you had your windsport and have you had any issues.

We've had our 29M about 1 1/2 years now and love it! Great floor plan with plenty of room and a king size bed, well almost a king size. We traded down from a Tuscany due to storage issues and have been very happy with our choice. Right at 7,000 miles and only a couple of minor issues.

Check out the link to the thread Jerry started, lots of great ideas for mods there!

I have a Thor 2019 Hurricane 29M and want to add a front stabilizer as well as a back sway bar. Before I can order the stabilizer and kit I need to know the bolt size for the front and cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know whether the tire rod bolt size is a 1 5/8 or a 1 3/4? It's a Ford chassis. Thanks!

Dave,
You give me way to much credit. I have ni idea on the bolt size. I will say when you order the Safe t Plus they ask the year and chassis weight. Based on the answer they tell you which bracket to get.

We just bought the 2022 Windsport 34J. I absolutely love the space and overall experience in general. It definetly needs some upgrade though. Like suspension, steering stabilization, extra power, headlights, etc.,

Hey can I ask you about your 34J, are you towing a vehicle with it? If yes what are you towing and how does it tow in your opinion? Your 2022 should be the Ford F53 - V-8 and I have read great things about it. How's your MPG? Towing and non Towing? Thanks

I used the double axle dolly from uhaul to tow my jeep wrangler and did see that it struggled a bit on some steep roads and hills. With towing my mpg went down to 7 or 8.5 but without towing I saw a drastic change in performance and control. My mpg went up like 15 or 16, i felt more in control, etc., I wouldn't recommend towing on regular basis unless necessary.

Double axle dolly? Never seen such a thing. Do you mean double axle trailer?

You should be able to flat tow without a trailer. You basically added about 1500# additional weight by using a trailer. Yes, towing will slow you down on steep hills, if it is a problem, you can unhook and have your partner drive the toad. I found that doing so helps a little but not that much. the coach was still slow going uphill. The biggest problem with going up is that the road is usually not a strait shot. Those 15mph hairpin turns make it impossible to maintain speed regardless of whether you are towing or not.
