Truck is Ten

My truck has turned 10 years old but the camper it tows is only nine.

For those campgrounds with a "ten year rule," does it mean both units have to be under ten years?

Not trolling, just kidding.

Let's have some fun with this.

  • There's a very simple calculation to see if you are within the 10 year limit:

    ((Age of truck/147)*(age of RV*394))/(weight of driver*(number of dogs/number of times you've had poison oak))*((square root of GVWR)/(number of times you've dumped your black water tank without gloves+number of propane tanks)). Then take the tongue weight and divide it by 10. Then add the numbers in the RV Park's phone number and divide by the gear ratio.
  • The camper can stay, but you'll have to leave the truck on the street. :)
  • If your truck is 10 and the camper is 9, add them together for a total of 19.

    When the rig hits 20, it's a classic.

    Who would turn away a classic? :)
  • My rig is only 8 (see photo in signature)
    I have been turned away often. I always argue that it's not 10 years old but they boot me nonetheless.
