Either their screws are a little too tight, or they just aren't nuts enough. As said its not for everyone. But Ive yet to hear a fulltimer say " It wasen't for me" There are all sorts of people on God's green earth that have all sorts of varied interests and lifestyles. Some of those interests and lifestyles seem quite strange to those of a different variety of nut. But if we were all cashews life would be an awfully dull adventure; would it not. Just because I condone parking my harley in the living room, doesn't mean Im an unacceptabe nut, it just means I don't have a wife*&^^%$%*() !!! I love hearing stories of successful fulltimers because "Im on my way." Its like the call of the sea, some hear it and respond, and some don't. I noticed I heard no complaints of youre fulltiming either. My only regrets of my future fulltiming is; The HARLEYS have to be put in a trailer. This is one big continent, and I plan on seeing some of it. The silver lining to it all is; there are always nuts of youre same variety out there everywhere you go. You know what they say about Birds of a feather. I bet now, 8 yrs later you laugh at the comments " you got to be nuts" from those who live a more mundane lifestyle than you. Don't ever forget the jingle " sometimes I feel like a nut" GOD Bless and Chow Chow LEL2 Fulltiming is what many dream of but for one reason or another never do.

I'm wondering how much their Fiver weighed for it to require them to purchase a heavier duty truck. I had a 35' 9", 2003 Newmar Kountry Star Fiver which grossed @ 16,200 pounds loaded, and I pulled it 1st with a Chevy Dually 1 Ton Heavy Duty, 454 CI, then with a Ford F350 Dually 6.0 Turbo Diesel Heavy Duty. I never had any problems towing with either one. Both trucks had plenty of power for hills, but the Diesel more so than gas of course. Although I never weighed our unit, I estimated I pulled it at approximately 14,500 to 15,000 pounds. This is the second article I’ve read (It Pays To Be Handy…Part 2

We have the same story as most. The house was sold and the 'stuff" was given away or sold. The real sentimental family stuff, of which there is little, is stored in a shed at my youngest son's house. We have been renting a site in Florida annually, but spend only the winter months there. We are in a 35' class A and love it! We are in our fourth year of fulltiming. We have the same story as most.
