I have had both good and bad experiences with  Good Sam ERS.

The worst was in Louisville, KY on Derby Day. The operator told  me that they could find no one to help me until Monday.

AN overweight trailer can have five (5) effects:

1 Bent axle

2 Broken springs

3 Excessive wear on the sprong shackles

4 Broken spring hangers

5 Blown out  tires

My trailer was overloaded on one axle by less than 800 pounds and I experienced all five before installing heavier Mor-Ryde suspension.

My first thought about picture #1 was an  ham radio field day  set up.

Judy and I will arrive  on Friday.

You can never have "too much truck".

I have less .money tied up in our Volvp VNL 610, Bed, and Smart4two than a well equipped F-450.

I replaced my drive tires two at a time. Started on outside duals.

I bought Knoedler Air Chief for my wife. She lves it over the stock Volvo seat. I am still riding in the OEM.

registration of an HDT as a motorhome is really easy in Texas.

You con get it done  quickly in Polk Couny if you have the required appliances in the  truck.

My 2003 VNL 610 ,which is still  tandem costs less than $250.00/year.

Mount it as close to the panhard arms on the rear differential as possible. The hitch plate wuill be blow the top of the frame rauil and ahead of the rear frame plate. No need to move lights this way.

I am a :belt & suspenders" type when it comes to loading the Smart. I bolt both ramps with 2 bolts each.

I also use RV Trip Wizard. I find it tells me everything of importance, ie campgrounds, distances, clearances, fuel prices nearby  and a trip radius from each campground.

I live in Texas and have my rv insured with American National.

I can't read my lcd screen atall. I bought a BlueFire.

ShortyO

On my 03 Volvo you must keep the clutch depressed while starting and the until all of the lights on the dash go out in order for the cruise to work. High idle will work without doing this procedure.

ShortyO

Camera to hitch uip?

YES. But I also GOAL.

ShortyO

The Speedometer on my BlueFire dash is programmed 0 to 130mph. That way at 65mph tje needle is straidht up.

Check Seatspecialist they have replacement seats for Class 5,67 & 8  trucks.

In the end one of THE most important decisions will be the floor plan.

ShortyO

Check a new Truckers Atlas by Rand McNally

or Check out RV Trip Wizard.

They both will give you bridge and overpass height.

ShortyO

Glen,

Have you perused RKI for their drawer systems for service bodies?

They have many height & depth options upm to 36" slides.

The posted diesel at Loves in Odeesa is $2.249 with the TSD price $1.496.

ShortyO

It won't give you a discount at Pilot/Flying J due to an agreement with GoodSam Club.

ShortyO

For your intended usage I would make my final decision based upon RIDE COMFORT.

There are noticeable differences, in my opinion, between the  brands and 3/4 ton vs 1 ton.

Carl,

We are hunkered down in the West Texas oil patch.

Not  being able to travel is costing me money on un-needed projects.
