When we purchased our lot we ran into difficulties with some of the larger banks and loan companies. Then I thought to check a small, hometown bank in the community where we purchased. After speaking with the loan officer on the phone I received a loan application via email. I completed the application and submitted it with supporting documents the same day. I had a loan approval within a few hours. It could not have been easier (I really prefer doing business with small hometown banks). Safe Travels...

The first few months we were on the road full time, we had a 27 foot conventional trailer that weighed about 8,000 pounds loaded. With our F-250 7.3 liter diesel we averaged about 12 mpg towing at 60-65. The same truck pulling our 14,000 pound 5th wheel gets about 2 mpg less towing at 55-60. I believe that the major reason is that the 5th wheel has more frontal area and thus more wind resistance, rather than the higher weight, Of course the additional weight is more of an issue with braking, one reason we have slowed down some.
