Almost a new 247BH owner
Good afternoon from sunny Hamilton, Ontario!
Tiny bit premature on joining up to the forum here as we're putting an offer in on a 2020 247BH tomorrow morning. Pulling with an F150 2.7 Ecoboost rated for 8500lb so we were aiming to keep the GVWR below 7000 and the length under 30. Wouldn't you know it... the 247BH GVWR is 6995 and the length is 29'11". We're first timers owner so we'll be following the advice I've seen here and everywhere else about running as close to dry weight as possible for the first while while we get used to the trailer.
Anyway, hope my deal works out tomorrow and sincerely hope to get to know some of y'all and learn what I can about travelling safe and having fun.
Cheers!
Darrin

Hello neighbore and welcome from Ottawa. We're pulling our 22mle with a Lariat F150 2.7 tow rated for 7600. The 22mle has the same GVWR. Get a good WDH and you wont have any issues but keep a real close eye on your payload. Ours is only 1426 (door sticker cargo weight) it's just DW and I but we do carry the generator in the box. Our tongue weight is usually around 760.

We just picked up our 247BH a few weeks ago. Also our first Travel Trailer. We just got back from our first trip. Pulled it all the way from Atlanta to Wilderness State Park in northern Michigan. Our Tow Vehicle is a 2008 Sequoia. Me the wife and two kids.
The 247 pulls well..we got only 9-10MPG with the Sequoia. Which isn't great but given we only get 16-17 without a trailer I'm not mad. Only I wish the 247 had was a ladder for the top bunk. Climbing on the dinette isn't good.
