And just the sheer size of it to get it into a campground....pulling it would not be an issue a 17,000 would hardly know it's there.

you sure like your freight shakers eh my buddies won't touch them.. but they like KW.. go figure. the FL are not realy that good, as they are not aero dynamic in any way haha. I am looking for the full ferringed, hiden air cleaners, no exposed exhaust. it can make up to 1 to 2 mpg, and since the 5th I am buying is 13' tall I figured a full 13'3" truck is good for keeping crap off the front of the fith and helping reduce the drag caused by the trailer. with the volvo 770 you get all that hight as interior room, no bolt on deflector at all. and from all the trucks I have sat in the 770/780 was the most comfortable by far. which makes a differance if I am pulling a long day for the wife.
