A recent Camping Life(Woodalls) article reviewed the 2008 Tango light-weight trailers by Pacific Coachworks out of Riverside, Calif.
The trailers “are turning heads for a number of good reasons. Floorplans that make good sense, top-flight appointments, and a high overall degree of functionality and utility have made Tango towables the talk of the town.”
“According to Pacific, the Tango 286RBSS trailer can be towed with a half-ton pickup or SUV. We suggest a weight-distributing device be used for this trailer if you do tow it with a half-ton vehicle, to spread some of that tongue weight out over the tow rig’s and trailer’s axles.”

Dal. Thanks for your positive report on the Four Winds.
What’s the big deal! We bought a 2007 Four Winds 28 footer (31 1/2 bumper to hitch) with a slide out that weighs less than 6000 lbs dry. On top of that we only paid $14000 and love it. No problems, easy to pull and very comfortable. I have a 1996 GMC 1500 that I use to pull it. I’ll save the difference in money, get a slide, and have a big smile on my face when I think of this BS over priced trailer they’re trying to sell you.
