Nice setup. What camper do you have?

Thanks. It's an Aerolite 213RBSL, it's little, but it has an awesome outdoor kitchen, king bed and full size shower, hard to find items on a smaller camper.

Trailer towing is not for everybody. And if you don't LOVE the camping experience then it may not be for you in the first place.

I went the other way...

Currently towing a comfort trailer for a 22 hour ruck march my wife is doing. It's not the biggest load I have ever towed, but it's pretty important. I'm in the rear so it's put the truck in first and cruze at idle. FYI with your for off the brake the diesels idle at 4 MPH.....
A port a potty?

Now that is hauling a “load” alright! Ahaha

I tow a Yamaha Grizzly. The total weight of the atv and trailer is about 1900 pounds. The truck is a 6 speed manual. I mainly tow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains where I work. The paved roads are steep and have many turns. The truck does fine in 3rd gear, but need to downshift to 2nd sometimes on steep uphill turns. I also tow a 1977 Honda Trail 90 that I ride 50/50 on/off-road.

Easy snowflake, I don't care what you do with your truck and camper. Just thought it foolish to post pics and brag about doing something illegal on the internet.
Yea, stupid people put everyone else in danger! Not smart at all. And for sure NOT brag about it.

The trailer is all steel and is a tilt trailer. It weighs 880lbs, Grizzly dry weight 600lbs (with fluids?), front wood box with various items 76lbs, rear wood box with various items about 100lbs, subtotal is 1656. I also carry an atv spare, trailer spare, and there is a motorcycle steel wheel chock. I am curious to see the exact weight at the local recycling scale.

*I am going to be transporting the Grizzly Tuesday. I'll try to remember to get a weigh in just for fun.

**I stopped at a CAT scale, but they wanted to charge $11 to get the weight and then pay another $11 on the return trip empty. I said no thanks when I can go to my recycling center and get the weight for free. My atv is now in the mountains for the summer trail riding season so I won't be getting an accurate weight any time soon.
