FAQ about Leigh & Byron's full-time RVing lifestyle
Why such a big truck?
Pretty simple, really. There's nothing smaller that will safely pull
-- and STOP -- a trailer like our's. For two years, we white-knuckled our way
around the country with a one-ton Dodge dually diesel. Perhaps you can spot
it in some of our earlier pictures. That particular truck was overloaded by 6000
pounds, and that doesn't include any sort of 'safety factor'. Yes, there are many
such combinations driving down the road (frequently right at us, it seems!) but
we wonder if they'd be able to stop in time, should the unthinkable occur
In any event, we now have a truck with a 40,000 lb gross weight, meaning that we have
well over a 100% safety factor. Plus, we fully expect this truck to outlive
our lifestyle. Vee shall see vot vee shall see!
