We have a phrase for this in the Corps:

Overcome, improvise, adapt, and succeede

I really love how this video shows exactly how well that trailer frame is designed to put all the weight in front of the axles so that your truck is supporting most of the camper.

This one is a bit long but hopefully a reminder for those of you who pull vehicles behind your RVs

Hey Michael, I'm on my way, just gotta stop by the ATM...

 

[tiggerdad]

[SouthAlabama5er]

Tiggerdad just ordered him a new Motorhome, he sent me the video of it...

A whole new meaning to the word "Land Yacht".

 

[tiggerdad]

Yeah, just gotta be careful in the turns. She's a bit top heavy. Can't get dang kids to quit jumping off roof. Keep having to go back and get em.

I am starting to think that Trucks and Towing shouldn't be a separate THREAD, but a Separate FORUM (Maybe a "Sub" of Camping).

That was why the camping community forum was started.

That was why the camping community forum was started.

I think a truck/towing thread could stand well on it's own in a separate forum. I do think it belongs under the Camping section, because, let's face it, most people at the Polynesian aren't bringing a truck OR towing.

The problem with the community thread is there is only like 4 of us that know it exists.

It's like the Work in Progress thread, tons of knowledge in there, but nobody reads it or knows it's there.

Shame really.
