[QUOTE="HGilliam, post: 259924, member: 20643"] MXBundy you can profit from my experiences. I'll try to be brief. Had a '94 1500 Suburban and bought a 28' Playmor Sport toyhauler after the dealer assured me they were compatible. First trip to Octoberfest in Daytona the rear end went out in Valdosta, GA. Not in warranty but got it repaired for 1/2 price: $650. Sold the Suburban upon return home and bought a "98 Chevy crewcab dually. Next trip to FL wife says either fix the rough ride or trade it for a 3/4 ton suburban. Fixed the ride with air ride rear and 3/4 ton frt springs. $1500 later it all works good. Used this combo for 18 months before deciding that crawling up and down to a bunk bed in the middle of the night and taking a shower standing over the comode with a shower curtain stuck to my butt sucked! Besides we couldn't stay in the trailer without unloading the bikes since they filled the living quarters when in transit. My dealer sold it for me for the salesman's commision only and we ordered a new fifth wheel since we had a truck that would work. Got our 37' single slide Playmor Sport with 10' separate garage in April 2000. First trip to N GA mountains for a shakedown cruise tells me this truck is working it's butt off to pull , control, and stop this trailer. I continued to use this combo traveling all over the SE until Aug 01. We went on vacation to a dual sport ride in Ducktown TN, then over to the Trials Training Center east of Chatanooga for 2 days and back over to western NC for some street bike riding. All of this was thru the mountains. Dec '01 I bought a used '97 Freightliner 4dr Fl 60 . Went to Croom in Brooksville FL after Christmas and I finally have a combo that is easy and relaxing to drive with no stress or strain on the truck or driver. Bottom line: Don't believe what the salespeople tell you about what will pull what. Don't expect a truck to safely pull a load that's near the max gvw it's rated for. You won't enjoy the trip and your truck won't last long doing it. Sorry for being so long winded. Toolman [/QUOTE]
