Two things I forgot to mention about overhang. Not the front. More about the sides. If it's raining - water drips all over your head when you get in and out of truck. Also pretty easy to bang your head when getting in if not careful. I'm only 5'9". I assume taller people bang their heads even more. When the campers are on either of my trucks - I can hardly feel them nor notice when driving. Might be a lot different though on a 1/2 ton truck which I'd never do. I absolutely hate pulling trailers and a small class-C RV or a truck camper is what I much prefer. Nice thing about a truck and camper combo is the ability to go off road and into deep woods if you want (with 4WD). I spent a lot of time fixing up what was going to be my "ultimate" 4WD RV. A 1986 Chevy diesel Blazer with a Hallmark RV body on it. First version had a 6.2 diesel (stock), 3.08 axles, 15" tires and a TH400 trans. Got a best of 16 MPG.

I stopped using it with the high diesel prices and am now using a Toyota RV with a 2.4 gas engine.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
