![]() ![]() ![]() We are in NC and have camped once in VA at Misty Mountain near Crozet VA. I only carry about 10 gallons of water with 1/4C bleach to keep the fresh water tank fresh, since we never boondock and rarely use our fresh water tank except to flush the lines after we get home. There is a separate inlet on the side of your camper for filling the fresh water tank. There is a check valve in the pump that prevents city water feed from filling your fresh water tank. Longer and I would make sure you get a site with sewer hookup if possible.įresh water tank is pressurized by your on-board pump. Some sites don't have sewer hookups but for a weekend you will be OK and can dump on the way out. Most sites have water and electric (30A) hookup. The city water connection at the CG is pressurized and feeds your entire water system (which is also why folks carry a pressure regulator and water filter to keep high water pressure from blowing their TT connections). Pretty sure your fresh water tank is forward of the axles to balance things out.Īt most campground sites, you will have a "city water" hookup, so you aren't using your fresh water tank at all so no need to fill it. The 200VML is a bit on the heavy side for us (we only have 5,000 lb towing capacity) but I think if my wife had seen this before the SL169VRK and we had the towing capacity, we would have ended up with the 200VML.Īlso what I believe is true on the 200VML is that due to the layout, your grey tank and black tank are both aft of the axles, and they're both on the small-ish size at 30 gals each. We consistently crossed off beds that are sideways where someone would have to crawl over the other person to get out. The option of a Murphy bed is nice also, but advantage of either is access on both sides of the bed and the wardrobes. The SL169 has a dinette (2 benches and full-length table between) which is good if you want to have 4 folks at the dinner table, but my wife would actually prefer the 200VML arrangement of the "jiffy sofa" and a free-standing table. The only disadvantage of a dual axle (IMO) is the stress on the tire sidewalls when turning on hard surfaces. Just remember to calculate what you toss in (including water at 8.4 lbs/gal) into your overall GCVWR which is your combined tow vehicle and trailer with everything loaded up. Advantage 200VML - Dual axle allows you a higher Net Carrying Capacity of 1750 lbs which is a good bit of stuff.Advantage 200VML - Looks like you can get to the front of the camper (bed, clothes) w/o extending the slide at all. With the slide in, we cannot access the bathroom or front of the camper.We have to put our slide out a couple feet to get to the bathroom while traveling Find your perfect car with Edmunds expert reviews, car comparisons, and pricing tools. Advantage 200VML - Access to the bathroom w/o extending the slide. Save up to 3,775 on one of 216 used Chevrolet Sonics in Los Angeles, CA.Door in the opposite end from the bed is (IMO) a better layout.Not just getting snacks, but checking the operation when you come off shore power and want to make sure that it switches to propane. Refrigerator by the door is very handy.What I like about it and the 200VML are a number of things. We don't have that specific model but the SL169VRK which has a similar layout. ![]()
