There is a kit that mounts to the truck bed that will guide the camper. You still have to be pretty close to straight or you will strain your jacks. The plus is that you put it in the same spot every time. |

I have done it both ways and to be completly honest, I liked my Dodge single wheel better than my Chevy dually for carrying the camper. BUT!!! I had to replace my Dodge's transmission four times in four years and when I got rid of it, it had 41000 miles on it. They really are a crap tuck in my opinion. My travel partner uses a Ford Superduty dually and loves it but replaces brakes evry season. Better than transmissions. Toyota is supposed to be coming out with a heavy duty truck. I really want to see what it has to offer. |

We sometimes do a drive by and see if there are any big rigs or other overnighters. If there are and it looks safe, we'll stay. I have never been asked to leave one and I even run my generator all night in the summer fo my air conditioner. We think that it beats rest stops. At one time the campgrounds were against it because of the loss of revenue so most stores post signs prohibiting it but we have never seen it enforced. Police go by several times per night at every one we have stayed at and have never asked us to leave. |
