This may be the route we travel, the Wife said she doen't want to give up her bucket seat with all the bells, whistles and comfort for that rare occasion that we would choose to take 4, count them 4 grandsons ranging in that broad of an age bracket camping. At least not until we get a RV with a minimum of 4,800 square feet of living space.

Now that, my friend would be one big heavy 5th wheel.

In Montana and many other States......People riding in a 5th wheel is legal.
I have done it using walkie-Talkies to stay in touch.

Hey Roy, is it really legal in some states for people to ride in the 5th. wheel? My wife and I have been wanting to get an RV or a 5th. wheel but we can't really swing the RV that easily. We both would be happy enough with a 5th. wheel IF we could have riders in it. Plus I can get some peace and quiet, lol.

Here is the link where I found the laws for each state in regards to trailers, RV's, etc.State Road Laws | RV Trip Wizard Inc..
I was pleases to find out we can have people in them and even triple tow.
Hope you guys find this helpful.

Good to see you found the answer...........

I have put kids and dogs in the 5th wheel while traveling. Too many bodies for the truck.

If not going too far, take a car along for the extra seating.

Well riding in the 5th wheel in Texas is out. Looks like the grandson's best be on their best behavior, because someone is getting left behind.......LOL!!

A second car is always an option on closer trips.

Does anyone own a Dually and not tow anything with it? I like the way these trucks look and wondered if anyone liked the looks so much that they owned one without towing a trailer.

I see some locally that I don't think tow.

I don't tow a trailer, that said I have 3 trailers I tow from time to time, but certainly don't need a dually to drag a 6 ft, 8ft and 20 ft trailer for various things I do on my place.

My prime reason is to haul my Truck Camper:







Truck/camper sits level

Well today the truck is one year old, with 19,510 miles, wife says no party for the truck until its paid off. I did treat it to an oil and filter change and tomorrow I will change the fuel filters. I was going to give it a wash too but there is rain coming tomorrow, I think I will spruce up the interior tomorrow too.
