Newest toy

After twenty-four years of tent camping, with my greatest campsite being in April, we've decided to go the 'Tiny House' route. We've joined the ranks of the RV crowd.


Now we roll like this

Wow! Love it!

Dang, down here you can only tow 2 trailers if you have a fifth wheel leading the way.

My dad tows the same way!
Except his camper is a bit smaller, but his boat is a bit bigger. The overall length restriction is 65 ft. here.

You know that's not really camping, right?

Looks like I will be receiving a citation if I head that way.

Can't do the triple tow at all here in Florida.

I have a 1997 Dodge extended body 15 passenger van
that I use for my Motel 6 while traveling . . .
if the weather is not too hot, we join some backpackers
for a weekend of fun in tent camping.
When pulling the boat, I am 36 feet going down the road.

Way to go Steve.....I'll be watching the highways for you to drive by.

I just read the Regs. and it's the dumbest thing I've read in a while. If I were driving a company truck(commercial vehicle) I would be fine. Since my van isn't a comm. vehicle I'm not allowed. Even though I have a weight-distributing hitch rated at twice the weight I'm towing, sway control, brakes on 4 of the 5 axles(brakes on the RV are sufficient enough to stop without using the van's). Unbelievable. Looks like FL. doesn't want my tourism $. Oh Well.

NH either. We can't tandem tow here.. Jealous of your trailer! Looks great.

Last month the old van sustained a serious injury and is now on the IR. Found a more than capable player to take it's spot.

2016 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Express package. 5.7 Hemi, 395HP/410ft lbs, 8spd Auto, 8270lbs towing cap. More than enough for my needs.

Way to go Steve.....I'm jealous.

Where'd you find it? I've been trying to talk my wife into letting me start the search. After all, mine has 210,XXX miles on it.

Sent you a PM Chris.

Got it. Thanks Steve.

I like the tandem towing setup. I used to do the same when we went four wheeling.

Just got it back from the shop(small warranty repairs before this season starts). Here's some recent pics attached to the new rig. Getting it ready for the first trip of the year next month. Look close you can see the boat behind them.

Way to go Steve... Can't wait to run into you guys again.

If you don't mind me hijacking your thread...I upgraded too late last year just before Thanksgiving. Keep your eyes open for me. There's not too many EcoDiesels running around in JeffCo.

BTW...it pulls my boat like it's not even there.

How do you like the Eco-diesel? To me they drive like big cars, your thoughts.....
