Picking up new camper...a little advice.
The wife and I bought a used 2008 Lance 845. We're driving 6.5 hours to get it. I have a 2001 2500HD, 8.1 liter, with Allison. I'm having the frame anchors installed, and the truck-rv plug installe...

Hopefully that ol 8.1 liter and allison will handle 8000# worth of trailer, too. :)
Had a GMC with an 8.1L and Ally trans. That combo WILL do great.
Thanks, others had said same thing. I know that pulling the trailer and race car, plus quad and tools, it did great. In fact, it pulled better than it did empty...much smoother ride with the truck loaded down. And she would pull the sexton and smith summit's on I5 in southern OR like nobodies business. But adding 4000# on top of that, I was getting nervous. I'll just have to slow down a little and get my foot off the gas. :)
