ALOHA [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] yah, it is dune season and I have been puting lots of miles on the Rappy. Been ruffing it too. I need a new truck and a toy hauler!!!! Or maybe a motorhome to tow my flatbed trailer. I want an Avalanche with a duramax and 3/4 ton. Does chevy make that combo?

wahrdskin- Yes i know, sometimes i am a slow learner. I bought a new 97 dodge 1/2 ton truck in 97. The kid/wife and i went to North Dakota in it. It was about 2 months old. Traded it in while driving thru colorado for the new 96 chevy one ton. The dodge sucked. I did have it long enough for the cows to do some damage. For some strange reason a few cows decided to lick the side of the truck. It was not pretty
mistake 2- Traded wifes 99 cadallic in for a 2002 dodge crew cab dakota
mistake 3- traded 2002 dakota for 2003 1/2 ton crew cab. Wife told me to buy a powerstroke and i stopped by the ford lot. I just could not bring my self to pay 34,000 plus TT&L for a truck that i will not take care of. Now if it was a corvette maybe. lol

14, What we do and I think you can do in Tejas is we pull a 5th wheel camper, and hook our 4 wheeler trailer on to that. Pull doubles. This opens up your options on campers--you can find used 5th wheels very reasonable as opposed to toyhaulers which are spendy. And you don't have to deal with gas smell in your sleeping quarters, or re-packing everything to fit the quads in to leave, etc.
In CA, WA and OR you can't pull doubles (commies!) but I think all the other western states you can. The 2nd trailer tracks quite well, and the only thing is you can't back up all hooked up. Our 5th wheel is 22' and a 12' trailer with the wheelers. You can go up to about 74' total in most states. I can go 75 mph with all this stuff, handling is not an issue.

In California you can pull another trailer behind your fifth wheel. You need an edorsement on your license from the DMV to be legal. I believe it is only a written test, no skills test
