What a load.....
Helped our dealer...DAVES CLAREMORE RV by towing some trailers to Tulsa for the Greean Country RV Show this weekend.
Somehow the "BIG" loads got left for last. Was not sure that the F350 dually would make it...but we did.
Almost looks like an ant pushing a grasshopper.

If you're a seasoned hauler...you KNOW better than that. Of course the wind is going to change and you'll be bucking a head-wind pulling the loads back. Isn't that a rule for RV owners?

Should have just put it in the bed of the truck...then you could have hauled two at once!

That was considered since I had to borrow a 2" ball and tube to pull it.
It pulled so well I may offer to tow both back from the show on Monday.....with or against the wind. The low profile helps too.

I knew when I posted those pictures last night it would not take long for the weight cops to be alerted.
I will not however give out our route for the tow back next Monday.
Maybe we need to tow them back under the cover of night on Sunday.

Really should scale it. The tongue weight on the tv might exceed the campers rating.
I would however install a air deflector on tv.

Just thought about it...and.....we might be able to scale that lil thing on a couple bathroom scales.
The air deflector was another consideration yesterday.
You folks just do not let anything sneak by ...do you?
