I went off on a tangent on this, but what I am trying to get at is not everyone can affored a big booty truck to tow a camper. People want to be able to enjoy the outdoors and camp. Aometimes I feel that some people try to make RVing a lifestyle for the people who only have deep pockets. I got what I could currently afford. I wanted to do this because my GFs daughter is growing older everyday and I don't want her to miss out on this.
Sometimes, I think we are too harsh to newbies. I have seen newbies on forums ask a question, get ridiculed and put down, and never come back.
The******I got on my first post, I took some of it and that was part of my decision to downsize. I didn't let the negativity get to me. We railroaders have thick skin. (By the way, you cant say cap with an r in it without getting sensored?)
I wasnt going to respond until i read this. I got hammered on my setup, and when they were done hammering on me, they started making fun of my typing or grammar. I have been on and off this site for awhile so it kind of just slid off, but i can see why new people wouldnt want to sign up to this site.
What really gets me, since we are being honest. There are guys that are dead set that you can not do any modifications to increase your towing capacity. Nothing. Now, i get that the numbers will never change, but if your saying you cant add airbags, bigger brakes, or different gearing and it wont increase your load carrying capability, i just dont buy it.... These same people will hop on a thread where a guy adds a 3rd axle to his truck and they start talking about how much more they can tow now. That goes directly against what they are preaching about in the first place.
Anyways, very informative site. Just watch those weight police.
