Hey what do you mean where I came from? Maybe this is where some of us choose to be.

Just MY situation. I LOVED my 22BH. I packed all 6 of us in there, (when the kids were small) LOL Now I am older and choose to s p r e a d out. LOL
No disrespect intended. :lizard:

Teevman, I think Mike was just referring to remembering his roots, and times when campers were smaller and money might have been a bit tighter. I did not take any offense at his comments, and agree with him with regard to not looking down on anyone. Let's keep our sense of humor here, and enjoy the JOF.

Woops sorry for the misunderstanding. I was just joking around.  Guess I should have picked a better smiley.

We towed the Eagle 23.5 HT again this weekend and I am always amazed how well this teuck is doing with this trailer, no struggle, no strains, no problems. I haven't seen a 5th wheel this short yet pulled by a 1/2 ton. Lots of 30+ feet and 1/2 ton combo looking solid.

No hard feelings here at all.
Towed with my new truck yesterday with 30-40mph gusts of wind. LOVE the truck, it towed the 351RLTS like it wasn't even there. Got 11.5mpg towing as well in the wind. Not bad considering my last truck only got 8mpg on flat land.
Forfun. I've driven the Ecoboot F-150... Cannot believe it was a V6. WOW

Being newbies as well my husband and I made the mistake of purchasing a RV that was too close to our towing capacity. We also put blocks on the rear tires and my husband was still a nervous wreck when towing, sure we got where we were going but he did not want to go too far, he was that nervous about it........Soultion purchase a new truck so that he did not have to be such a wreck (no pun intended) all the time. I figured life is way too short to be worrying about it, so a new truck solved the problem and we are living happily ever after I sometimes think my husband may have put it on a little thick so that a new truck seemed to be the only realisitic option. Afterall, not camping was completely out of the question Hope all continues to go well with your tow vehicle.

If you are worried about tow vehicle size then see this thread on the Ultimate Tow Vehicle
This one is sized right.
FYI my tow vehicle is a Ram 1500, extended with Hemi. Has worked very well but I don't broadcast it on RVNet.
