FYI, a longer wheel based vehicle is safer for towing. If the Tacoma was swaying something was wrong with the setup because a 16’ Bambi is tiny and way under the max tow rating of a V6 Tacoma.
You have to use a weight distribution hitch and you will tow straight
Get one with sway control as well.
Didn’t you have a sway bar ?
I have a Cayenne Hybrid 2016. Hopefully yours is a certified pre-owned. I love mine, but once they start having issues, repair costs are very high. Start saving now.
Amen to that Bro! Everything on that Porshe is expensive to repair. Brakes alone 5 grand or more. A new Cayenne costs over 100 grand. Where does this young couple get that kind of money? Plus, their home looks to be expensive. Since they are tubing to the public, these questions are fair game.
Kenny Foss I question the money 💰 for Porsche but the house they said was there mothers home in this video
@@kennyfoss8389 he's in real estate he is also ex military plus they've been saving for years
@@christinewood8331 Buried in debt like most Americans .
I had a Tacoma and I towed a boat, Challenger 1800 ski boat. It was so bad. The tacoma was not good at all. Weak towing capability. I agree, the RR with the V8 is really great. I had that setup too with my boat. The RR was a night and day difference in towing.
Get an equalizer hitch for towing. You are not towing a rented U-haul trailer for the weekend. Your truck would have been fine.
With a black finish a clay bar is your best friend
I think if you added air bags to the Tacoma to stiffen up the suspension you would like the way it handled. The newer model airstreams have a composite floor, hopefully they can put that in.
Did y'all have a tow sway bar to help controlling that trailer swaying?
I was thinking the same...
Yes it sounds like you need the distribution hitch. There is a great video about it on the channel “Keep the daydream” that explains it. Good luck and Congratulations🤰
The Porsche is a unibody, so you can't use the WDH on it or it will bend your frame. That will significantly limit you on the ability to go to a larger RV in the future using it as a tow vehicle. I tow with a Tacoma and it handles great. The longer the tow vehicle the greater the stability.
To much weight in the rear of the trailer can cause sway. When you get it back, stop at a Cat scale and weigh both the trailer and tow vehicle, then a second weigh of just the tow vehicle so you can figure the tongue weight. Tongue weight should be at least 10 percent of the total trailer weight. Also have the trailer loaded like you do when going on a trip. That include water, bikes on tne back, etc. I doubt the truck was the problem.
Gongrats on having a baby. I just had a hitch installed on my 2019 Audi Q8. If you haven’t done so already be sure to have a Porsche dealer install the hitch. This is a big and extensive job, in that the entire bumper and electronics have to be remove or disconnected. It may require some programming afterwards as well. It will be expensive but will be worth it and also headache free.
Thanks you for sharing
Muy lindo carro fel8cidades por sus logroa
Beautiful car. Maybe not the ideal car for towing campers. Yes V8 but in time, long term towing wears on this suv. Get ready for high maintenance costs 😖
Tacoma is great truck, especially for towing. Think your issue was human error. Keep learning towing tips, still amateurs. Best of luck...
I like you guys. You both look like great people and I hope you get the Airstream fixed. I would have to say.... you should change your tune about the “minimalistic living”. Owning a Porsche is far from minimalistic...just sayin 😂
Prosperity at it's finest. Congratulations guys! 😀🙌🏾😀🙌🏾♥️
Black bean is great!
What's the name of the chemical?
Oh my gosh, that’s my dream car!
Such a cute family including your dog and baby thats on the way! Yeah I guess your car is like a baby shower gift to yourselves!!
Black bean car so good
Don’t listen to the negative comments. I tow my Airstream 28ft with my Cayenne GTS without any issues for many years. Great choice on a tow vehicle. We are also running a pro pride hitch as well, cayennes have really large brakes but you might think about a brake controller. I can’t remember if all cayennes (the year you have) have the built in plug under the dash for the brake controller but if it doesn’t you can go with a wireless brake controller.
Nice vehicle, felicidades muchachos!😊
Wow nice car and I’m happy for both of ya
Nice car i love it
Good luck with the new car !! Stay safe
Felicidades a los Tres y chiquita DLB siempre cuidencen por favor
Wow. You guys really have been through so much since you started this adventure. We have an AS Bambi 20FB and we have a few little issues but nothing like what you’ve been going through. I hope airstream gives you true satisfaction for your expensive purchase. You should have checked your sway and distribution setup first. We’re using a 2019 Ford Ranger with an Equalizer sway setup and we have zero issues with towing or sway. Either way we hope you get ALL of those issues resolved and get back on the road again but super safely. Keep bringing those great videos. They’re really informative and helpful. Les deseamos mucha suerte! Take care out there!!!
Hey beautiful couple!! Congrats on the new SUV!
esta muy bonito su vehiculo pero no es bueno para ponerle un hint para remolcar
What type of sway bars are you using?
😮 beautiful!!! ❤️ !!!!!
Vow, super cool car, happy for you guys
Excellent choice, I have a 2020 Cayenne S, yours and mine tow 7,700 lb’s. I’m looking forward to how you do with it. Shop around at dealers for the hitch, some will quote over $3,000. I had a 2015 and paid $1100 it is a big job and has to be tied in to the computer, dealer is best to install.
Very nice car :)
When I’ve looked stuff up, I found some trailers I thought were interesting. If you want to get away from air stream, look up fiberglass campers like Scamp, Casita, and Escape. They should be similar in size and layout to the airstream. I don’t know anything about build quality because I haven’t owned one myself. I heard they can last longer then a normal every similar to airstream. You might have to wait a while though. These companies are usually small and can’t keep up with order. Everywhere I look it takes about 6 months.
WalterPuppet those fiberglass campers are great but only 6’ and 7’ wide where the Bambi is 8’ wide. I’ve been in this other ones and it feels really narrow 😕
Also looked like the Bambi was not level behind the Tundra. Hitch too high?
Hay felicidades que Dios los bendiga con en su hogar y a ese bb que viene en camino
Wow... That was clearly a composite panel with fiber glass. Probably vinyl ester or epoxy resin that was not fully cured. The base chemicals in those can cause sensitization in their un cured state. It takes time. The resin was either mixed improperly or not fully cooked. That's a manufacturing quality issue. Hopefully a one time event. Be careful in the future with any un mixed epoxy or vinyl ester resins. You may have another bad reaction.
Thanks for explaining! I was wondering what it was 🤔
I would stay with airstream, sounds like you got a lemon, just ask them for a new one.
A single axle AS without a sway control hitch WILL sway no matter whats towing it.
A shorter wheel base SUV just increases the possibility. The Porsche will tow, but it's made to handle great by itself.
That airstream was a big chunk of money to have all those malfunctions in such a short time frame. Have you looked into an Oliver?
Your wrong about to long, the longer the wheelbase the better. Short wellbase make poor tow! You should of had no problem with that trailer and truck. Could you have the setup wrong? After seeing your new car I ask are you sure your on the road to prosperity or road to poor house?
NICE car. If the chemical gas was strong enough to put you in the hospital, I would be very much afraid of keeping that trailer, or any Airstream. Whatever products the company used in manufacturing that trailer would also be used in others that they made. I would not want to expose a pregnant person or a newborn to that risk. Best of luck in resolving this issue. I look forward to seeing you back on the road.
Definitely Airstream.
The longer the towing vehicle the more stable it is. Must have been a different problem.
Did the Land Rover had air suspension?
Black beans are also known as Turtle beans
How about re-naming her “Portia”? This spelling is from Shakespeare’s female protagonist in the “Merchant of Venice”. Also pronounced similar to your favorite car. So I guess you have checked out the towing capacity, gross & net.
You guys are so adorable! Hope to see you on the road❤️
You guys should of gotten another Range Rover!!
Nunca contestan los comentarios! Gracias
Just read my post and Correction “Keep Your Daydream” is the name of the channel.
DO YOU HELP YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS FINANCIALLY...OR DO THEY LEARN TO HATE YOU SILENTLY FROM THIS YOU TUBE VIDEOS ????
Very disappointed that you got rid of the Toyota, they very reliable trucks, Porsche/VW's are very high maintenance vehicles so get your wallet ready, also I think you should install a weight distribution hitch in your RV and last, I had never met a Puerto Rican that don't like Habichuelas 😂😂bendito nene...
¿Frijoles Negros?
Glad to see you are all right !!! And your news SUV ...? I dream of it 🙏🙏🙏
Perfect for towing in fact
About the airstream they have to fixe it properly or negotiation for an exchange 💪💪💪
Glad to hear that you’re dumping the airstream...your experience is typical poor quality workmanship. Then we cry to our government “let’s buy american!” - but this is the state of American manufacturing
What was the chemical?
