    First Run, really enjoying it so far. Thanks to all those who gave constructive guidance. I didn't make the decision on a whim.

    I do have my CDL A. Delivering RVs now. Not a decision I made lightly. Some of the RVs require a CDL to tranport them. That one went to CA and needed a oversize permit for AZ. It is only 33 feet, but the awning makes it over 102".

    I put a 116 gallon tank and a tool box in the bed. It is a pretty nice setup and does the job well. Thinking about putting an airride kit on it.

    Perfect….. Plus you are pulling the Grad Design products. I like the picture of the truck. Parked next to a Grand Design Solitude 379FL. It’s their biggest one. Its like I work at the manufacture or something.

    Better check I thought you weren't supposed to have over a 90 gallon tank on a pickup like that.

    As long as you don't have a 119 gallon tank you don't need tanker or hazmat.

    And no, the Solitude is not the biggest one Grand Design makes.
