I would have never worried about it before I found this website and started reading all the stories on here lol. But I think most of you fellows have much heavier campers than me. Ive noticed they really beef everything up. And also I just completed a CDL school and got my class A combination with air Brakes. This school taught me a lot about weight ratings and all. Going to a Good professional Driving school will change your perspective a bit. It makes you more aware of the Dangers. Now Im wanting a class 8 Truck with a flat bed and a bigger TC, Something with big fuel tanks and gets good mileage loaded and unloaded, something that I don't have to worry about wind and hills. And last but not least something that You can put a million miles on and be still going strong. I think one of these trucks with a sleeper and a camper on back would be the Ultimate camping machine. With the new emission regulations in California I can get a nice one for under 5 grand, And that's a lot cheaper than a nice dually. They say you can tag them for personal recreation use and its way cheaper. And if it under 12000 pounds You don't have to keep log books. Have any of you folks ever done this?
