Take the camper off your dually and put it on somebody elses SRW truck and drive it around. That should do it......

I bet you get 28 to 30 mpg with that truck with the camper on.

"Slurpy machine". That was enough to keep me from having a slurpy for many moons.


Are you saying that you haven't seen Wayne's slurpee machine?

We do not have that problem in California. Our roads are so rough and beat up we put extra straps on the holding tanks to keep them from falling out. Five miles on our roads, and the black tank contents looks like they have been through a Slurpy machine.


So you've been driving the right lane of I-105 recently?

I discovered a new draw back to owning a DRW yesterday. I was driving around my neighborhood try to rock the truck back and forth to shake up the black water tank before I dumped it. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get the truck the sway back and forth. Any one else have this problem? Any solutions?

BS!

Get it on one of these roads around where I live or in my yard.

I have driven both of these rigs in this picture - as the Congressman said to Obama "You Lie!" Both have Hellwig anti-sway bars and Torklift Stableloads. You can make either of them roll if you try hard enough.



Moderator has nothing better to do.

If you had the Lance struts (dampers) on those campers you wouldn't need anything else...

You would bounce click, click, thunk, click , thunk up and down.... in Arkansas.
