Glad to see you making this decision to be “safe” on the road. I had an F250, bought a slide in truck camper and realized it was too heavy for my payload capacity. So, after six months of owning that truck I traded it in on an F350 with a lower trim level so I had plenty of payload. Kudo’s to you for doing the right thing!

I'm always planning for the future, we started with a 1/2 ton and a travel trailer, upgraded to a 3/4 ton for a couple years, then a 1 ton dually. Then we upgraded from the travel trailer to a 5th wheel. Now still planning for the future, for when we're ready to leave the sticks and bricks and full time in an rv, upgrading to a newer 5th wheel from Spacecraft (fully custom built manufacturing) and an HDT to tow it!!

After a two month snowbird stay in Arizona we decided to upgrade from our 24’ bumper pull to an Alliance 310RL. We learned our 2016 Duramax was short on payload and rear axle weight capacity. So we upgraded to a 2022 Chevrolet High Country 3500 dually. It took some time to adjust to driving the dually for groceries and errands but it sure tows great! I really enjoy your channel and following your adventures!

@IreneIronTravels 4 месяца назад

You’re gonna love the Mega cab. I sure loved mine. Bought one new in 2008 and just sold it in 2022 when we bought our 5th wheel. The 08 didn’t have the capacity back then as the new trucks have now and we were overloaded. Our dog loved the big back seat folded down in the mega. I kissed the 5th wheel backing up and crinkled the cab. Didn’t bust the back glass out so the repair wasn’t bad. With that we decided to upgrade to a 2022 Ram dually HO Cummins crew cab 8’ bed . It’s a beast.

@seahorsevista2254 4 месяца назад

I have a 2002 F350 with duallies. They are a pain most of the time because you are always planning where you are going to park, usually way out in boonies, at a store, downtown, etc. However, when I am being hit broadside by 50 mph wind gusts pulling my outdoors rv 23RBS, as happened today traveling to monument valley, I love those duallies, and my ORV due to stability. And the 7.3 L power stroke just pulls beautifully even though it is 22 years old (still less than 100 k miles). Anyway those duallies will change how you roll. Congratulations. Oh, and that Cummins diesel is the best.

@greghall9006 4 месяца назад

I just watched this video and so glad to see you’ve upgraded to a Ram truck. I have this same truck, it’s a 2010 though, but it’s the short bed Mega Cab dually. The best part of your upgrade is you now have the best diesel engine available for the 3500 series of Fords, Chevys and Ram. You have an engine that was born a diesel, the Cummins is by far the best bang for your buck power plant. I have 170K miles on my truck now and at 79K miles, I had to replace the water pump. That’s all I’ve had fail. The Cummins 6.7L engine will easily go 500K with regular scheduled maintenance. I pull a 41 foot Heartland Cyclone 3950 (GVWR 18,000lbs). I have no after market parts (Banks equipment). It is all factory stock and no problems pulling grades with my trailer weighing in at 17.4K lbs currently. Welcome to the world of Ram trucks and yes I agree with y’all, she’s a beauty. Happy trails and see y’all in the next video. ♥️ P.S. I put a 52 gallon replacement fuel tank where the original 32 gallon tank was mounted under the truck. I have a driving range of 300 miles towing the trailer, and 500 miles when not towing. I currently get 14 - 17 mpg not towing. Towing I get anywhere from 5 - 10 mpg. You will see your mpg’s increase when you hit around 40,000 miles. This engine will just be starting to break in. Your mileage will be better than mine cause each year these trucks just get better and better. ♥️

@IreneIronTravels 4 месяца назад

Nice! Thanks for the great comment! I’m interested in the larger tank!

@greghall9006 4 месяца назад

@@IreneIronTravels I bought a 52 gallon replacement tank made by Titan Fuel Tanks. The tank is good but has a venting problem when fueling. I can’t open the fuel nozzle all the way, the back pressure will shut the flow off. I narrowed my search for the tank between Titan and Transfer-Flow. Titan came in at $200 cheaper for the 52 gallon tank, I went with Titan, but in hindsight, wish now I’d gone with Transfer-Flow. The Titan tank installed by Super Shops in San Bernardino, CA 6 years ago was $1600 total out the door. Titan pretty much blew me off when I contacted them about the venting problem which Super Shops backed me up.

@jonlieberman997 3 месяца назад

The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill. Weight and capacity matching is a complex and serious adventure. It is a leap frog situation and sometimes I have leaped off a cliff. You have a really cool setup for yourselves now, but if you want to take some urban adventures and do a home base in or near a large city, you should be able to maneuver into tight spaces with the 5th wheel. However, having a dually in a city is a royal pain. I promise you will dent your fenders or someone will dent them for you. No biggy, just something to prepare for. I have been totally happy with my diesel RAM 3500, Limited Mega Cab for pulling our 28 ft Outdoors trailer. I like having a topper over the bed with a 100 gallon aux fuel tank. Started camping in the 1970 and have had too many trucks, campers, trailers, and motor homes to count. I am really happy with the RAM 3500 single axile and trailer. When we needed more space we bought a house a couple of years ago and kept the truck and trailer. Now we are ready for the road again and will sell the house for more than we bought it for. Having an appreciating asset made more sense to us than buying a bigger travel rig for the benefit of mixing things up a bit. Sooner or later we will buy another home but are down by one child who has graduated to adulthood and independence. If I were to get an upgrade trailer, it would be smaller than 28 feet. It won’t be too long until we have no children with us. I enjoyed your video. Best wishes to you both and your dogs-stay safe.

Great choice on your new truck! I have always driven GM trucks until 2019. I was getting ready to retire and was going to buy a new GMC Denali. While doing my research, I saw a lot about the new 2019 1500. I drove home a Laramie home. In 2021, we ordered a new Rockwood 2608BS. But not enough hitch weight with the half ton. At the time, trucks were hard to find. But I found a 2019 2500 Limited diesel with a long box. Which works best because the 2608BS doesn't have a lot of outside storage. In my opinion, RAM has the best interior hands down. The 6.7 diesel engine is bulletproof. I am looking forward to seeing your next video. Safe travels.

@jsbservicesllc3619 4 месяца назад

Good on you! I wish many more RVers would take the time for self-analysis. We see MANY combos rolling down the freeways overloaded. It’s just simple math and responsible RVers, like you guys, do the responsible, safe thing. I agree re: the dually. I never wanted one. But now that I have one (the long bed version) I can’t imagine going back to an SRW. The smoothness, comfort, and stability have made me a believer. I enjoy driving it with or without the trailer. Getting used to its width makes it easy to navigate and park. Go Dually Club! (Or was that dually cub?)

@jamesb.1156 4 месяца назад

Congrats!... My retired job; I move new RV's around the USA, delivering to dealerships (Camping World, etc). I upgraded my old truck to a GMC Denali 3500 Dually with airbags + auxiliary fuel tank. I would recommend a 60 gallon auxiliary tank for your Dodge. Buying fuel and saving money when you find the cheap fuel will give you piece of mind during travel out in the middle of nowhere. I normally save between $30-$70 on my aux tank refills with my 118 gallon aux tank that fits in my box, below the tonneau cover. I also have and electric fuel pump for the aux tank to fill up my main tank during travel to transfer the fuel..... just my .02 James from Duluth MN.

Because they think it is a commercial truck and pull $500 if you fill up for $100 etc... then it takes about 6 days to get the balance returned...

I have a 60 gal aux tank for the same reasons you suggest. It allows me just over 900 miles before I have to refill. I plumbed my aux tank directly to my main tank using the manufacturers suggested install kit. I know my auxiliary tank is empty when my fuel gauge on the dash starts working. When I arrive at my destination I shut the aux tank off and start looking for a refill sight. It’s easier to refill the main tank on my truck so at my destination I always use the onboard tank. Gas cards will save you money. On a 1500 mile trip I usually save enough to take my wife to dinner at least once.

@jamesb.1156 4 месяца назад

@@Lloyd973 plumbing directly to the main tank without a shut off valve is dangerous. Because the main tank filler is vented and the aux tank in the back is at a higher elevation than the main tank.... Yes the main tank does have a ball valve built in at the opening when the filler tube reaches the tank... On GMC and Chevy.... If you leave the valve on too long you can get a check engine light on the dash... Furthermore, when you plumb the aux tank to the filler line, usually you get a roll-over stop valve with the install to be D.O.T. compliant in all 50 States....

No, the choice to pull the fifth-wheel with the Tremor was clearly wrong.

@sarahmcarthur9107 4 месяца назад

We had an F350 with a truck camper and found out that we were overloaded, also by about 800 lbs. We did the same thing--we did the research and realized that a Ram 3500 dually (diesel) would work for our camper. We've since moved up to a 30 ft fifth-wheel, and the truck is still well under its max ability to pull that puppy down the road. We have it packed for a long trip and went to weigh it, and found out we had about 3,000 more lbs we could fit in it. Granted, we aren't living in it full time, but we do take long trips and pack it pretty well. So a good truck is a big anxiety reducer, for sure!! We also love this truck--it is comfortable and big and goes anywhere we need, except for the narrow roads in the hills. Ours is long and won't work on some roads in the national forests and so on, but generally we can go where we'd like to. Thanks for the great videos, keep it up and enjoy your new addition to the family!

Beautiful new truck! Had a feeling after the last video it would be a bigger truck…. Congrats!

@kingsgambit7734 3 месяца назад

Loved your video! My family made a similar advancement from bumper, to 5th wheel and then to an RV. My advice is STICK to the 5th wheel. :) You will avoid the hassle of the maintenance of having another engine plus likely have a greater live able square footage! So keep that in mind and avoid the pitfall my family took.

@shortyontheroad 4 месяца назад

Aaron & Chris, thanks for sharing all of your experiences. We are trying to get started, and the length, payload, GCVWR etc. are just about crippling me from making any decision. Towing guideline docs from manufactures almost make it worse. Have you seen any spreadsheets that have helped simplify the process of know whether or not the truck/fifth wheel you are considering are a good match? Congrats on the new rig, and please keep making the amazing content for us all. You two are our go-to for learning about gear and what NOT to do :). Be well!!

@IreneIronTravels 4 месяца назад

Thanks appreciate ya watching! I think KYD had one from years ago. It can be simplified though. Take your ideal 5th wheel’s GVWR. ( the max it can weight) let’s just say 20,000lbs for example. Than you multiply it by .2 or even .25 to be on the conservative side. (20,000 x .2 = 4000) that’s the pin weight of the 5th wheel onto the truck. So then you look at your truck. Let’s say the GVWR of the truck is 12,400. You need to also look at your payload sticker. Let’s say that’s 4900. ( so now you have 4000 from 5th wheel and then you add in you and your family and all your gear. ) You have 900lbs left over for that. But you also have to watch the rear axle weight rating on a single rear wheel truck along with the tire max ratings. This is just a rough way to estimate before you buy either. You might not go to your max 20,000 lb on your 5th wheel and you might be good with less truck. But you don’t know till you look at the numbers. For large 5th wheels around 15,000 to 17,000 you need a very particular single rear wheel one ton that has 12,400ish GVWR and 4500ish plus pounds of payload….. What size 5th wheel are you looking at? GVWR? You can see you could tow

Congrats on your new Dodge! Nice! This happens to people all the time and happened to us! We had a 2015 Dodge, 1500 Hemi ,pulling our KZ Connect 24' until 2023. We forgot that our special needs son would grow up (lol) and we'd need more adult space! So we traded in our 1500 for a 2500 Diesel, and our trailer for a slightly larger unit, Freedom Express 29' which gave us about 6 more feet of trailer (Our son now has his own back bedroom). Our truck is a total Beast! and it's tow is simply amazing! Even when were fully loaded, we don't feel like the trailer is behind us! You always want to have more tow capacity in your vehicle than the rating. One should also do their homework and not trust any dealers to tell you "it's safe". Most of the time they just want the sale. It's just so much safer and more comfortable to navigating with our new setup now! I'm sure you all feel the same! Happy Camping and enjoy!!!!

We just got our 2024 RAM 3500 dually in February to use with our Alliance Paradigm 385FL. It has so much power and gets almost 20 mpg not towing and 11-13 towing. A little tight parking at the grocery store or laundry.

@IreneIronTravels 4 месяца назад

Oohhh thats great MPG! We're hoping we 'd get close to the Ford at around that too. We did go with the mega cab short bed RAM to help with parking with it being about a foot shorter. 👍

Congratulations on upgrading to the Dually Community. While it may not fit everyone's budget once you learn to drive an 8-foot-wide vehicle it's not that much different from the standard model. One thing to always remember is that you can't take it to locations like Redwood Forest and expect to be able to drive through all the smaller openings like you would be able to do with the single-wheel version. Also, you will most likely go through more DEF in that vehicle so it's good to have a 2.5-gal spare on hand while you're traveling. I have the Ford F-450 Limited Edition and love it. I looked at the RAM 3500 but during the summer of 2019 they were very scarce in the central Ohio area and all I could find were a couple used vehicles that didn't meet our "must-have" requirements. Stay safe and happy trails.

@IreneIronTravels 4 месяца назад

Thanks Bill! And nice payload on your RAM! I was going to order a F350 SRW that would have about that. (4200-4500). But we would still be pushing it and rear axle as well.

Can't wait to hear about the new truck. Just wondering if you are still using Insty Connect. My van is ready to be built out and, I'm thinking that's what I want. I'll live most of the time in the PNW, so trees are a concern. Was considering Starlink, especially since they no longer have that bulky base. I'm thinking cellular would be the better option for me, but would help to know if you're still happy.
