Why aren't you doing something like a larger enclosed trailer? Seems like the best of all worlds...
Same storage issues so that’s a push
No extra engine to maintain since I’ll probably end up keeping the truck
Lower tolls on 3 axles than 5
True rv status and more legal in the big truck once converted
Similar economy compared to a big trailer
Nicer to drive the big truck long distances
No more transmission failures - not the first time I’ve done something crazy to avoid repeat failures
Probably less of a gamble but higher purchase price to get into a 48’
My ram really isn’t rated to deal with grossing 32k. Needs a big trans or lower gears. Still be a stressful drive compared to not using something at half rated capacity.
I thought long about it during my drive versus the one ton but didn’t really consider in comparison to a 35+’ trailer. That would require truck upgrades to be comfortable, I think. I was dreaming of the class 8 driving experience in addition to adequate bunk size + puppy space. I think I still am.
When he says no to $5k though I think I just put it on the back burner and carry on in current status.
