The indecisions of buying a Truck and RV. I am thankfull to all those who contributed valuable information to my learneing existence. If you are quoting as such;  "I have seen too many dented cabs for my liking.", then the threat is real that the RV can damage the truck cab. Too bad the RV...

I heard that Andersen 5th wheel hitch can be installed in a short bed truck and the RV corner will not touch the truck cab,  thus allowing a 90 degree maximum turn (jack knife turn). Is this true? If so, which model hitch do I need to install in my truck? To be specific I am considering a...

The Voltage 3600 5th wheel Toy Hauler RV is rated at about 13500 lbs dry weight. Do I need a Long bed 8' box to pull this RV? One RV technician told me  in a certain turning situation the front end of the 5th wheel can come in contact with the truck cab and crush it.... OUCH!!! 1. How...

Thanks Steveblond :) Please tell me about your experience with the Voltage. I am making an offer on a 2013 Voltage 3600. This had been returned to the dealer because the main large slide out had a 'getting stuck' issue and had to be repaired. When i test operated it,  it made a lot of squealing...

1. Are lifted trucks a problem to use to haul a 5th wheel ? 2. I found this page with pictures of the hitch buddy. Anybody else who owns it can give a thumbs up to use it and reclaim the bed space.  Know where to buy it? https://www.heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/1706-Hitch-Buddy-Tow-Dolly

I have located these Chevy Silverado vehicles and here is my opinion about them: 3500HD  LTZ DRW Long box Diesel - 4.10 Axle Ratio - $ 56000 - Rough rids with 80% of the road bumps transferred on to the seat inside - Rides well on smooth roads like small truck - Has 3rd seat in front - Higher...

I plan to purchase a good long lasting truck which can pull a 15000 ton RV - a 5th wheel like the Montana/BigHorn. I have been debating for a while and not being able to make a final decision on getting a 2500 gasoline versus HD diesel truck or going to the 3500 diesel and lose the small...
