Towing...

I don't know where you all got the idea I would drive overloaded... I
am
a stickler, ****es people off. Ask Jess someday how I tie stuff down,
even stuff in the trailer... I have a "superstition".. I never move my
truck (with the trailer on) without touching the drivers seat, then
doing a "walk around" which involves just what it says. I walk around
the whole rig looking at tires, lights, connections under the wheels,
locks, look for leaks... left behind equipment etc.. Jess is required
to
also do a walk around each and every time we move, even if it's
leaving
the gas station a mile after doing a walk around at the house... The
whole thing goes back to about twenty years ago when I let the guys at
Home Depot load my trailer, seeing those 2x10s flying 30 feet in the
air, changed my life... I am a stickler about towing... you guys must
all be thinking of don who we shamed/threatened into getting a bigger
vehicle to tow his rig...

You where originally talking about getting a 36' fifth wheel camper
and were asking the group for tow truck recommendations. You
indicated that you were "leaning" towards a four door (crew cab)
Chevy 1500 pickup with a small block. Those of us with some
knowledge and experience with 5th wheel camper trailers know that you
would have exceeded that truck's towing capacity by a long shot and
indeed, you would be overloaded (and illegal) with that configuration.
That's where I got the idea. You asked and some of us were simply
trying to be helpful.
