I got a 1500 Chevy and my camper is 5000 lbs but he ratings for 1500 says 7000 lbs not sure about the payloads but my truck seems to do ok with my camper it dont push truck down like some heavy campers do. But I will check with dealer. I had 2 diesal trucks and the mechanic lost my trucks.819Views0likes5CommentsRe: New To Whole RV Life, Looking For Info & Recommendations
My small camper is 19 foot toy hauler, but my 1500 Chevrolet truck pulls ok. I am sure a diesal would be better but my camper only 5000 lbs and my truck can pull 7000 lbs. Thats the deal make sure ur truck is rated to pull your camper1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: New To Whole RV Life, Looking For Info & Recommendations
Yes my 2500HD carried about as big a load as the dually could carry . They said 1600 back in 2015 but now they say 13000 pounds. But the 2500HD is a lot smaller than dually and makes turns a lot easier only 4 tires to buy versus 6 for a dually but I loved the comfort ride of my dually. But I am glad I traded but I got 4X4 4 wheeel drive and it was nice getting me unstuck. I used it a few times getting campers out of mud and snow. Then when I got my farm it was great 2 wheel drive wouldnt do crap in the mud.1.5KViews0likes1CommentRe: New To Whole RV Life, Looking For Info & Recommendations
I got 2 Forrest Rivers. My big one is 39 foot Cherokee and I had a big diesal GMC that I loved. But the front something broke and went tru oil filter and leaked all my oil out. I was supposedly getting a new motor put in but somehow its ended in Crusher. But Ford had some bad years and when I was delivering RVS a lot of the guys had Dodge trucks for the big campers. But mine was GMC and I did ok out west 6percent up and down. Out in Calif I hit some really steep mountains and messed the brakes and on my truck and camper. But I got a 1500 Chevy truck gas. But i got them fixed but abou $750 each. If u could survive in smaller camper and smaller truck thats how I would go. That big camper is so stressful on these mountain roads. Now I live in Tenn and just started camping again last year when I sold my house. But Goodsam used to have a article about what to take on your trips which helped me a lot. Cause you need those things u put in road so people wont run over you if u have breakdown. But campingworld . They used to have campouts with sponsers giving classes on different topics. Solar Panels Tires cleaning I learned a lot in the classes but experience does it all1.5KViews0likes0Comments
