For the most part books like NADA mean almost nothing. They use a depreciation number from new and call that the value. What counts is supply and demand for what one has and do you feel good about what you got for the price you paid.

A single wheel is just fine if the weight factor is covered for your trail. But a dual wheel truck will always be more stable in all conditions, is it needed, not always but over kill is much better to have than just enough.

Now for the torque questions, you can have a mass of torque as say applied when your two hands are pushing against each other, there will not be any horse power until there is movement in one direction or another, think about that some.

This is a can of worms concerning slide outs. I my self do not like them overall, yea you have more room but all the things you bring up and more are all true also. Buy what you like and forget what others like and say.

Flat towing is the way to go if your car can be flat towed. A surge brake is cheap and works well, a Ready Brake system is only about 200 bucks and is simple to install also check them out.

All good info. One confusing thing is that looking in your mirrors requires a different in put from you than if you turn and look back, use the mirror and forget about looking back, listen to your spotter! 

Its always sad to hear of someone passing that has helped so many, we are all going to be there some time also, but to live your life helping people is the best way to live as it seems Ned has RIP.

When would one ever really be wrong when choosing the best and safest truck out there , is DRW over kill? in some situations maybe but it will always be more stabile. 

You have a fire risk with any item that generates heat, propane/electrical/. Heat + fuel+ air you could have a problem. If your unit is full of leaves or any other kind of fuel you can have the problem, is propane/flame more likely to catch fire than an electrical heating unit in the refer...
