@duceswild2066 Жыл бұрын
Honestly I'm not sure. But if I was to guess you would need a 7/8 standard size bar and not a fat over size 1 1/8 bar. Take a look at your clamps and get a measurement. There is many options for 7/8 size bar if you didn't wanna change other peices like the clamps. Also have a look at your cables. See how much slack there is. Normally it's possible just to re route them for some extra length. Different bars have different heights. Hope this helps.

I just got a 2022 17 MKE. Looks like good solo trailer. Do you still like the 17MKE and how is it holding up, truthfully. Would you recommend?
@duceswild2066 Жыл бұрын
I love mine and it's holding up great. I haven't had any problems at all. Mine is a 2019 and has the east-west bed with a real residential 60x80 queen matress. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a small trailer. However, the new models have a Murphy Bed and that would of been a deal breaker for me personally, maybe not for others. I wanted a proper bed I didn't have to set up or fool with. Plus I love having full access to the bed with the slide in.

@@duceswild2066 I saw how convenient it was to be able to sleep with the slide in, if needed. I have not slept on the murphy bed yet, fingers-crossed. The probability of guests is why I went with this design. Love your down to earth camping videos. Back in the 70's, my parents took the family (9 of us) camping up in SK, Alberta, Quebec. Beautiful memories. I can't wait to get out there.
