I have a 1-ton dually pickup with a lightweight (1500lb) slide-in camper in the back. Part of the reasoning behind this rig is so I can take a tractor to a tractor show, and camp on site.
Now I'm in the market for a deckover trailer, but I'm debating on gooseneck vs. bumper pull.
My truck still has 3000lbs of confirmed payload capacity with the camper, so I could easily pull the heaviest of bumper pull trailers.
Problem is, I'm fascinated by gooseneck trailers. Always wanted one.
One thing the camper might give me a "pass" with law enforcement... A big dually with a gooseneck screams "hotshotter" to the state troopers.
I can haul more with the gooseneck... 8 tons instead of 7.
Anybody do the slide-in camper and flatbed thing for tractor shows?
