I'm sure not only in Arkansas but we probably have less chance of disputing it. Email doesn't exactly run general delivery out here in the sticks.

Hey dub. I've seen that rig. Said he got the idea from this cousin of his that drove out from Salem, Oregon with this 5th wheel camper and s10 pickup. Camped near us last year.

NO....NO....NO.....you have to visualize this. It was an S-10 blazer!!!!!!!! The freaking tounge was on the tailgate that was folder down! The weight of the tailgate cables was supporting most of the weight of the trailer. He had it re-enforced a bit but come on......where do these people come from??????

Well, I've had some neighbors ...

Seriously, the worst thing I can remember I did was to a 2000 Astro. Hauled a 1992 AWD Astro from Baltimore, MD to Jonesboro, AR through the Smokies. Traded it in about a few months later.

I know what you are saying. If you will look closely at the pic I posted you will see that is an s10 with little rubber band tires and aluminum wheels, 4 cylinder and 5 speed in front of a 32 to 35 foot 5th wheel travel trailer. The trailer is almost 3 times the length of the little pickup and weighs in at almost 10,000 lbs. There is no way this truck pulled this camper. It is a put on.
Blew right by ya didn't it? Gotcha!
