  This has to be the best 47 minutes a new RV'er could spend on theses critical topics.  Nowhere on YouTube is there one video that covers all the essential elements that you covered so thoroughly Chad.  Thank you for taking the time to put this together and educate us.

  Holy crap.l actually stumbled on this video by mistake. I don't have nor do I ever want a trailer, but...I was glued to my computer for the entire "lesson"   As a police officer, It gave me a much  broader understanding and appreciation  for those of you guys out there that have to maneuver these behemoths.  So well made with not one single wasted superfluous minute...it was all good info and I thank you for taking the time to do such a superb job.

  As an EX long haul driver I came across this video and totally expected it to be a Joke! WOW I CANT express how wrong I was you guys did an outstanding job and all the camera angles with the explanation and detail was spot on. The wife and I are a few years away from RVing ourselves but I will be looking for this one as a refresher when the time comes. Thank you so much for the unbias info you Rock!!

  Cell Phone is a great way to communicate with the navigator helping park.  It's hands free in the truck.

  I’m a commercial truck driver and we’ve been considering getting a 5th wheel. I just have to say thank you guys for your focus on safety! There are some people who drive their 5th wheel trailers like they forget they have something attached to them. Some of those drivers really scare me!

  I&apos;ve towed big 5ers for years, and I&apos;ve always gone by the motto, &apos;you can never have too much truck&apos;.. Current RV is a Fusion 427; 44 feet, 19K GVW. Tow vehicle is my &apos;17 F-350 DRW, CC, 6.7 PSD with max GVW package of 14K and 4.10 rears, factory rated for up to 22.5K GVW. . I do slightly miss the &apos;16 I had before with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87runDszXLQ&amp;t=270">4:30</a>s, but this works OK. &nbsp;Dash cam - yup. &nbsp;And if your truck has the engine brake - use it.. On the hills on Hwy 16 from Rapid City to Custer City, that engine brake is the cat&apos;s azz to maintain safe speed w/o the overuse of brakes. &nbsp;I&apos;ve never seen any need to spend mega-bux for air bags. &nbsp;The F-350 is a heavy truck - ergo it&apos;s gonna RIDE like a heavy truck. If anyone wants a silky-soft ride, get an F-150 or similar and tow less camper/weight.. Frankly, the newer 1-ton trucks ride ever so much better than years ago.. &nbsp; A big 5th wheel will handle winds way better than any TT trailer. &nbsp;Oh, and buy tire monitors for the camper. Trust me on this one. They&apos;ll pay for themselves in NO time.. &nbsp; Happy camping!!
