Long bed, short bed, 3/4 ton, 1 ton, 1.5 ton. What do I need for RV transport? 

It goes to the breather on the factory tank

I don’t have much dead head. Truck shows roughly 384k on the odometer. Take away what was there the day I started and were at 377k miles. I have roughly 280k loaded miles. It’s all about working the load board to your advantage

@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 you have 384k miles on the f450?

@@SuperDuty250 correct

You do realize if you’re non CDL you can’t go over a GCWR of 26k……so the listed GVWR does matter……lol

@@caseyharris82 if you do not load the truck to 11.5k, then you do not need to account 11.5k for the truck. This is simple math. 26k-truck weight, not gvwr,-what you have in the truck. Of course if you are fulling loading the truck you would subtract the entirety of the 11.5k But hey, we can't all be good at common sense now can we?

@@myname9856 if your truck is 11.5k and you get a 15k trailer without a CDL you’re illegal. Your truck may only weigh 9k and the trailer may only weigh 12k but your GCWR is over 26k rating

@@caseyharris82 man, if you are driving a truck that weighs less than 9k, and have a trailer less than 12k, it does not equal 26,001. Therfore, you can legally drive it without a cdl baring you load it past 26k. I understand the thinking behind you must account for every pound you can load, but it doesn't make it correct.

@@myname9856 go study the laws more bud. If the combined GVWR is over 26k you must have a CDL

Nevada has a "J" license to cover that gap between 10K and 26K lbs. I guess other states may have the same thing.

so this guy or that girl is doing something wrong if she is pulling a 14-15k gvwr RV?

Florida driver license class E is 26001 lbs or under or any rv combo unlimited.

Because it puts your weight into the system so they know how much trailer you’re able to haul. For example my GVWR is 14,000 but my truck weighs 10,300. Actual weight only applies if you have a CDL but it also gives them a rough estimate as to which trailers may put how much weight onto your truck so you don’t cross that 14k. Also some people outfit excessive equipment into their truck and could end up near or over that 14k without a trailer. Ultimately it’s all so the company can cover themselves and make sure you’re covering yourself too

Doesnt matter these trucks are strong enough to pull anything

David Burton you need to understand weights payload or cargo capacity has no legal binding or standing unless you are not hooking a trailer and just using truck bed to haul read and understand the legal weights and how they are measured either as static weight or rolling weight either one its still axle gross weight and total gross weight for example a class 8 truck has gvwr of 38000lbs but hook that loaded trailer to that truck it becomes 80000lbs 12000lbs on steer axle 34000lbs on drive axles and 34000lbs on trailer axles so if you hook a loaded trailer to that 38000lbs gvwr class 8 truck that puts 12000lbs on the steer axle and 34000lbs on the drive axles then are you overweight on the truck? No you are not it becomes a combination vehicle so total gross weight comes into action as long as your not over any axle or set of axles and not over gvwr that's the easiest way to explain it payload or cargo capacity does not come into play with a trailer attached in the commercial world now its a whole different ballgame when you factor in spread axle trailers we won't get into that. So basically if it's works in the commercial world why not in the personal side of things?

​@randygraham6979 you really need to learn how to use commas and periods.

CDL-Commercial drivers license. Allows you to haul loads over 26001 Lbs. A regular drivers license allows you tow up to 10,000Lbs depending on state. Nevada your regular DL will allow you to tow up 10,000Lbs. If you get their "J" license you can tow up to 26000Lbs.

Depends how much weight the trailer is carrying and how much it’s putting on the truck

@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 So as long as the trailer is not putting more than 3k on the truck and the total combined weight is less than 26k I would be good?

So then you would never pull a fifth wheel, tires are smaller and have lower weight ratings. and probably not a 4 wheel drive so really would be limiting yourself to only pulling smaller travel trailers.

@@michaeljames63 they have 4x4 sprinters but no of course no fifth wheels. The point would be to be more comfortable on the road

Probably yeah

My 2015 Ram came from the factory with air suspension. I can adjust from the dash board. Has 4 diff modes and I believe 4" of height adjust

@@michaeljames63 I'm guessing you're talking about the 1500? I had one of those before getting my 2500. I loved my 1500 air suspension!!! I think the factory heavy duty air suspension only has 2 settings though whereas the 1500 factory air suspension has 4 settings right? Also my concern with my 1500 was the airbags go into protection mode sensing a certain payload where as the factory heavy duty airbag system has a much higher threshold before going into safe mode. But for the type of support this video is discussing I would probably do after market air suspension so your truck computer doesn't log all the info about how heavy the payload is that it's sensing.

You are given a transporter plate that must be used on every unit

I don’t have any experience with sliders but I would bet dually doesn’t make a difference

@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909thank you for your reply. Could you recommend a slider brand. I know you mentioned you do not have much experience with sliders but maybe you know someone who has one?

Grey one is nearly 530k, mine is 346k and the other white one is just over 300k

The more basic the truck the more you can haul so I've heard. All the extra adds add weight and lower the amount you can pull

Lol , asked question before you got to it .. but really will that 2 " make a difference.. mine is definitely not low profile like youra

2” they may not have an issue with. I can’t answer

I talked to them today , yes they made it clear .. Anything over the bed sides will limit you to bumper pull.. Guess I got to cut off tool box lol..

I’ll guess you’re new to the channel since I’ve stayed in a hotel twice and both times complained because I hate spending that money on a hotel

No

Every state is a little different. Technically you should be fine, but I have seen states crack down on people for that.

It opens the door to additional loads

@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 how much more difficult is it to register ifta and keep track of the highway taxes. Maybe a video talking about it?

It’s very simple. That would be an incredibly short video. However I can probably throw it in when I do my tax video in a couple months

@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 thanks, I'm deciding on what truck to buy. I have a cdl class a

Thanks, I came across that one before and totally missed the explanation. I feel like a fool asking things that are already answered.

Yes, lots

Yes

Did you mean CDL? That’s a commercial drivers license

Horizon

I couldn’t tell you. I had my skills test waived because of military licenses

Yes you can drive a 1ton dually or any other truck/trailer combo that has gvwr over 26k. You will be limited to what you drive though. If you test in an automatic you can only drive automatic, if you test in a vehicle with hydraulic brakes you can’t drive a vehicle with air brakes

Hours worked per day

I did a whole video on it “rollover hours, how do they work”

It completely depends on her truck set up. Different high capacity pkgs will take the f250 to 21,700 lbs on a gooseneck and 18,000 lbs conventional. Only thing stopping her is cdl license. She is fine

maximum towing capacity = GCVWR - curb weight(includes fuel) - passengers - cargo "Tow Weight Rating is: TWR = GCWR - TVTW. By subtracting the total weight of the tow vehicle (the TVTW includes the weight of the driver, passenger, and additional equipment) from the tested GCWR, the result is the SAE J2807-compliant Tow Weight Rating." Example: 2016 Ram 2500, GVWR=10k, base weight=7620, GCWR=25,300. So max trailer weight = 25,300 - 7620 - people/fuel/equipment = 17,210 - people/fuel/equipment. The trailer's GVWR must be less than the Tow Weight Rating. Trailer Weight Rating and Tow Vehicle Trailering Weight are calculated as specified in SAE J2807. Passenger Weight = 300 lb Options Weight = 100 lb Tongue weight: 10 percent of the gross trailer weight for Conventional Hitch, 15 percent of the gross trailer weight for 5th Wheel or Gooseneck hitch. Trailering Equipment Weight: 75 lb for Conventional Hitch, 70 lb for Gooseneck and 250 lb for 5th Wheel. Payload and GAWR should never be exceeded and must account for all of the above weights, including the appropriate trailering equipment and tongue weight.

Or.....I have a CDL and my truck is registered over 26k
