Re: for all you custom camper/hauling/camping sorta guys...
Hi Jocko & Longhorn, we showed our combination of 70 GMC Short Wide truck with 327, 200 4r, 3.73 posi and trailer a few weeks ago. It got a good response. I had the stripe and windcover painted to match the truck. What I learned was really good trailer tires and brakes are a must. Also, I went with a 1993 Aljo 16' trailer with dual axles. I have a Prodigy2 trailer brake module that charges my camper batteries and I bought a larger transmission cooler and trans temp gauge. I love the look of the older trailers, but I tried to keep trailer weight to about 2800 pounds with dual axles in case of a blow out and my wife and kids also like a head with a shower. I found its a balance of truck capacity, safety, comfort and family needs and wants. G.
