Yeah, guess a short bed would have worked, but I'd canned the slider hitch and ...well, you know, it's one excuse after the other.....figure I got about a 2' of my truck "subject to the elements":)....but I prefer the long bed....I guess you got your "pro's" and "con's" with just about everything:)

I looked at my last post and some of it confused me:).....the back end of my truck sticks out of my carport about 2' when I pull in..

Just pullin' ya leg NC.;)

Yeah, I know.. sure is a little harder trying to keep the back couple feet of that truck cleaner than the rest:)

On another post you made. I have a human goof like you did and must not have gotten it plugged in well the only difference I had run about 30 miles on very crooked and hilly 2 lane back roads coming home from a state park lake and then about another 30 miles on the interstate before mine come unplugged.:h I didn't realize it until I was coming up on an exit when I checked my brakes like I always do well before I needed them. I was running close to 70 when I realized no trailer brakes. I was able to slow down in plenty of time but I also don't run factory brake pads.

But here again really the only difference between a srw and a drw in the same model years is just 2 tires and maybe spring set up. The trans and EB is the same.

Just goes to show, we can still make mistakes when preparing to go camping, even after doing the same task hundreds of times...Glad everything was ok with your "adventure"...and you're right, the EB and tranny's are the same for 1 ton SRW and Dually's.
