    That push/pull is something that' always been there, but can be controlled.
    With mine fully loaded (I'm in it all the time) I push 40k pounds so it doesn't effect me that much but I also back down when I can and let you go.
    Since we are on this however I believe that rv's should have to have different class of licensing as well, i carry a class A with doubles for multiple reasons (as the OP probably still does) but i dont feel that someone who has never driven anything bigger than a Honda should just be handed the keys.

    I'm in the 98 percent then, If they're going slower than me then I pass them.

    10-4 on the bob-tails. Truck stops should have a small separate area for just bob-tails.

    Thanks x1Heavy,
    The last thing I want to do is offend any professional driver. After all, I did my 45 years out there alongside of you guys and even though I'm not still at it I have the utmost respect and courtesy for all of you. I want to thank everyone for their great input into this topic and if I do not find any RV spots when needed I will have no problem reserving a paid spot. Be safe out there and God bless.
     
    alds and x1Heavy Thank this.

    This is when you back in just in front of his nose. Then waive another brave soul to back in behind the jeep. Then don't answer the door when he comes banging on it yelling and screaming!

    Or open it and say "Jeg snakker ikke engelsk"

    Or drop a rental on both ends and vanish for a 34

    Just so it goes no one heard a #### thing on my end. Ive been feeding too many birdies this morning and they are all crying with things to say at the window.

    If they want out, they pay to tow em rentals back to drop lot.

    Should teach them next time to park it properly between the lines. Only don't hurt them.

    If they have any brains at all, disconnect that towed vehicle, drive away and park. Walk back and take that house and move it out. Reconnect everything when parked.

    I am a truck driver who lives full time in a race car style trailer with living quarters. And when I pull it around with the tractor you see on the left I am in the same truckstops I frequent when I am pulling semi trailers. They are called travel centers for a reason, you have very right to be there and It appears you will be more than courteous to the other drivers. You may want to look into membership in the same organization I belong to, the Escapees RV Club. Lots of support and information for the serious and full time RV'er, many truck drivers in the organization.
