Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I know I asked this question some time back concerning extended cabs on tow vehicles but, being lazy, I didn't take the time to search for it. It was an input to someone else's thread. I remember my original question was why the extra cab space..was it for the extra wheel base or for the convenience to carry daily items close at hand. Well, the DW and I bought a new to us pick up last Friday. It is a GMC Quad cab dually. Our previous truck was a standard cab Chevy. We took the truck out to the coast (Oregon) this past weekend and what a difference in the ride. That extra 3 feet + makes a world of difference. The other big difference was the standard cab weighed in at 6100# with an in bed tool box and this new one tipped the scales at 7300# without the tool box. I don't believe this will be our final truck, but the ride is sure nice. Oh..it's a 2000 with the 454EFI. Better power and better gas mileage than the TBI on the old truck.
