Ohhh i was thinking a 6.5 TD.
I have read alot of bad things about Pcola Diesel in addition to what you said about them. I was planning to buy injectors for my 6.5 there. Guess not.

What do you think it will take to stop the vibration?

Nice addition, I agree with Reel, put and bumper hitch on the back and hook the v20 up as well. I have a 33 footer that I pull with my Suburban, it's probably more that she should handle but pulls pretty well. The only time I get concerned pulling the camper is when being passed by an 18 wheeler.

Triple rigs in Fl are a big time fine down here as in they red flag you on teh side of the road, so no putting a hitch on the back and towing something else. I am gonna put a carrier back there though to put my generator on.

Ferm, she's a thing of beauty for sure. Up here you couldn't touch that for $4500, much less lower than that. So you got a steal. Now for the REELY big question... when are you guys making a road trip along the eastern seaboard to visit all us Yankees?

We wanted to make it for the get together, but we just got the trailer yesterday. 2 months ago this trailer would have fetched $6K easy down here, but the market is diving again here as kids are gearing back up for school. Just sort of gonna play it by ear and see whne we can break away and head up that way.

Ferm, I'm jealous. My wife and I have talked about a camper, her father had a 38 ft 5th wheel. I'm kinda steering towards a motor home, only problem is(besides not having the $) I want one that will tow, that means diesel, which means even more money. Between the boats and the buggy project, I'd love to have one that will tow 7000 lbs thru the mountains

The biggest problem is the doors on the 88-99 trucks just weren't meant to support this heavy of a mirror. When you get that far out the slightest movement shows up in the mirrors. I'm going to try and refit the support brackets that came with them and see if I can tighten em up a little. As far as PENSACOLA goes, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! I have heard nothing but horror stories about them over the last 2 1/2 years, and word is from somebody inside teh company is they know they are turning out inferior parts but the management really doesn't care so long as they keep making money.
