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.

Right, but some were talking like I was going to do it rather than just
asking...

Oh, I read back and I see that our boy donnie started in by trying to
troll up the thread... Sorry, should have known.

No, he was simply stating what YOU had said awhile back.
