When we first bought our Ram dually I got the same reaction from Frau Blücher, actually the poor woman(at 5'-1")can't even see over the front fender let alone drive even with the seat n' pedals all the way up! OK, so it's all about compromise,I get that, but if you wannna' do this properly you'll need a dually,,period! With the dually you get better traction/better braking/an extra tire there in case of a blow-out and mostly piece of mind. I know the argument between SRW/DRW is a hotly debated topic but in my experience I wouldn't pull my fiver without a dually. In our situation Frau Blücher does all the driving and I get to hold the steering wheel! Since we started full-timing and our snow-bird lifestyle we seem to do everything together and that applies to the driving so her not being able to drive my baby isn't an issue for us. I know someone's probably going to chime in on "what if he has a heart attack or if they want to split pulling their fiver", we never travel more than 7 hours and not pulling a big fiver like yours with a truck not up to the job should reduce your probability of having a heart attack out of worry! Tell her that you simply can't compromise both you and her's safety on the road!
