Over 1000 miles to Florida with no issues. I did drive it several times to restaurants etc and rides pretty good. Obviously you can tell there is a load in the back but nothing outrageous.

I took the whole rig for a test ride today. Everything worked fine. The truck tracked well behind the motorhome. I think it's going to work out well.

Here are some pictures of my new Spyder travel rig. I travel the US quite a bit in my motorhome while flat towing a vehicle behind. When I got my Spyder this year I had to do some thinking about...
Thanks for the help guys! It worked!
I just purchased and installed a set of fender lights from Lamonster on my 2014 RT. The lights work fine except when I turn on the turn signals. They start off blinking at a normal speed but then...
Here's some pics of my Black Widow motorcycle lift modification to lift my Spyder. Two 1" black pipes hold the wood extensions. I had to put the front extension on the lift to fit the Spyder. I...
