Re: Over weight? Does it bother you?
With my previous truck I was over my GVWR by a good bit. However, I was under my axle weight, and tire ratings. I was not a fan of it but did not feel unsafe. My biggest concern was liability should I get into an accident. I believe if you stay within your axle and tire limits, and drive like you have some sense, you are safe.317Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2020 SE TC Gathering - planning stage

I've never been to Grayson Highlands but it's on my bucket list ... even if just to see the wild ponies. Trying to stay closer to home this time though due to MIL's health. Even then I can't say for sure we'll be able to attend so it might be a "self-service" gathering. I've talked to the folks at Spring Lake RV Resort in Crossville and so far so good. Should be able to make an announcement after the holidays. I fully understand how difficult and time consuming it can be looking after elderly family members with health issues. Maybe this could be an event someone else could take the ball and run with this year? I would be willing to help in any way I can. It would be great to get together with other TC'er folks from the Southeast.625Views0likes0CommentsRe: Members welcoming fellow members

I feel like I'm a long way away from most members locations, but if anyone is ever in south Mississippi and needs a spot I've got 20 acres with water and sewage hookup. We are in a small town but we live about an hour drive north of New Orleans LA off I-59. That's about the closest tourist attraction to us. Welcome to the forum. Truck campers are not very popular in my area either. Kind of the unicorn of the RV world.473Views0likes0CommentsRe: Why aren't Truck Campers popular in W. Pa.?

Find me 3/4 truck who has rear axle rated for it? That's exactly what I was thinking. His justification was that NL delivered the unit on a 3/4 ton and he brought it to the show on one. As much as I'd like to see more RV dealers sell them here, they have a lot to learn. Also the camper would have been dry and without all the stuff you typically load in a camper after you buy it.655Views0likes0Comments
