We often stay at WalMart when on trips. Some we like and some we don't feel as safe staying at. On a long trip, it comes in really handy because that allows us to drive later than we would if we were staying at a campground. I have heard of people being on the road for long periods of time and never staying in campgrounds. I don't understand how I could do that but they seem to not have a problem doing it. We normally don't boondock more than two nights in a row. We have run into several WalMarts where overnighting is not permitted. That is pretty inconvenient when it is late at night and we were planning on staying there. Once near Gettysburg, PA, we had pulled in and were planning to stay the night. We had not noticed the signs and a night guard came by and made us move on. That was tough after we had driven all day, it was late and were tired. We found another one that permitted overnighting in Lancaster. The guard in Gettysburg explained that the properity did not belong to WalMart and the owner did not allow overnight parking. |

Wow! That sure does sound scary. I am glad you were not hurt. I have not heard about truck campers being involved in roll overs often. I have not had a TC on a single wheel truck but it apprears that a dual wheel truck would be more stable side to side. I have a Dodge 3500 dual wheel with a Lance 1181 and it handles well. We have put about 32,000 miles on it since we got it in 2005. On the air pressure in your tires, seems that 80 lbs is too much for a 10 ply tire. I have 12 ply and that is the max pressure on the ones that I have. By the way, welcome to the forum... Jerry |
