Hello Everyone,First a little back ground. We have a family of four, two kids (8 and 6) and they are now of the age where camping is really exciting to them. We have been holding off on buying a new truck and camper till the kids could appreciate i...
Hello All,I would like some real numbers from owners of GMC and Chevy 1500 owners with the NHT package. I interested the actual sticker numbers on owners truck pertaining to payload of their rigs. I plan to order a fairly loaded 1500 with the 6.2L ...
Need some honest input on Tow Vehicles. But first here are the three finalists for our trailer: 1.Keystone Springdale 282BH, 9515 GVWR; 2. Jayco Flight 28BHBE, 9250 GVWR and 3. Forest River 26C Gray Wolf, GVWR 7910. Hitch weights for the three rang...
If you have looked at my old posts, you will know that we have been looking for a while. Well at the Flint RV show we (she) has found the trailer that she likes and we are happy with. Its a little bigger than I want but having owned 30' and longer ...

Thank for the information. I got some thinkin' to do. The gas mileage and the size of the truck are major factors against the 2500. Valid points brought up by posters. I think I should be good since the weights are gross wieghts. More to come. ...
I figured as much. I guess I'll buy a 3/4 ton. I just hope the gas mileage is decent. I guess I'll have more than enough truck now. Thanks to all for the input.Jim
We decided to wait and save a little money and get a 2500 sierra with the duramax. The 6.0L was just to slow and sluggish. My wife really likes the GMC interior and she likes the fact that my current GMC is 11 years old and is still going strong. S...
I test drove a Chevy 2500 6.0 and a Ram 2500 6.4. I was very impressed with the Ram. While it was not as quiet as the Chevy, the Ram drove better and was more powerful. I'm currently a GMC owner for 11 years, I think there's a Ram in my future. Does...
