Re: [A/S] Longer-term living in an Airstream



The truck specs at 6,200 lbs... add 500 extra for the diesel (too 
much?/too little), 250 for a tank of gas, 400 for people, 150 for 
misc stuff in the back seat and we're only at 7,500 lbs plus the 
trailer weight (shouldn't you keep it at 9,000 lbs or below to avoid 
going over the 9800 lb GVWR when people are on board?). Wouldn't 
that be well below the GCWR of 20,000? 

OTOH WRT truck GVWR, shouldn't that leave about 1,300 lbs out of the 
8,800 lb GVWR? Or do you have to also add 800-1000 lbs of tongue 
weight to the truck GVW? That would eliminate the Harleys. So a F-
350 with 9,900 lb GVWR would be better?

LOL! My wife read that, and said, "I'll bet he isn't married!"

Thanks again,
