flat bed or conventional pu
I have seen RV'ers towing 5th wheels with flat bed pick up trucks and wondered what are the advantages besides ease of leveling.

insurance is higher for a non pu bed truck.
in all 50 states and district of coumbia. a flat bed truck is a full commurcial truck and falls under fed dot laws as well as state dot and reg street laws.
some states require you to stop at scale houses. so check your axle weights. permits. etc. log book rules??
Nope, nope, nope.
I have both, flatbed truck insurance is actually cheaper than my traditional bed truck (in my case). Oh, and my flatbed truck is not classified as a "commercial" truck and has never had any DOT issues. I don't have a log book or special permit. I'm not saying that some states don't require these things, but to say ALL 50 STATES is just plain ridiculous.
