Hunter,

I am a different George. I am George Thomas. I have the 30' 5th wheel 
and a 1966 Safari A/S. I drive my Chevy 1 ton ext-cab long bed dually 
everywhere I go. It has a 454 (7.4 liter) throttle-body engine. I just 
here in the past few months went from a standard trany to a 400 turbo 
trany. I pull my 30' 5th wheel in the Great Smoky Mt's and the 
California mt's anywhere from 40 to 60 mph depending on the road 
conditions. With my airstream I sometimes forget it is even back 
there. What size was your Suburban? 1/2 or 3/4 ton, 5.7 or 7.4 liter.

As far as going places in my dually. I have learned it is best to park 
in the outer parking lotsbecause is is easer and others wont mess up 
your ext-mirrors. And just be aware of my suroundings. The only 
problem I have sometimes is going to the banking ATM's. They seem to 
make those drives smaller. Other than that I just about won't go 
anywhere without my truck. There are too many people out there that 
drive like crazy people. And when I am in my truck they can't help but 
see me coming and get out of my way.
