  • This young man is a star in my opinion, the amount of info and the way he presented it makes it interesting and easy to understand. I hope you’re doing well, you are very good in what you do.

  • NEW SUBSCRIBER! Can I say that this has been THE MOST helpful video in teaching me how to figure out what kind of truck/SUV to buy to pull the kind of RV I want? Like, I am dead serious. I always wondered how in the world you determined the whole CCC (cargo carrying capacity) amount. Yes, I know manufacturers tell you what it is but seriously… what the heck was I supposed to do with that number?? LOL. Now, I know! If you have more videos like this, I'll be a lifelong fan. Simple and straight to the point. THANK YOU! JEESH! People make stuff so hard for NO REASON! Again, thank you so much for explaining that. It was worth my subscription just for THAT info! But I'm sure you'll have other great videos. In fact, I just saw one from someone else at Colonial Airstream (doing an RV review that I'm interested in) and that was great as well. So, between the two of you, you got me as a subscriber. Maybe, if I decide to buy my RV (sometime next year), you'll have me as a customer! Thanks again and Happy New Year! *PS – I did have one question: You said that the 7-way connection may be hidden on an SUV. Where should you look for it? Also, if you get an older truck that may not have those brake controller buttons inside of the truck, does that mean it doesn't have brake control or should you be looking somewhere else on older trucks? I'll be buying either a used SUV or truck (but hoping to stay within 7 years of younger years). Thanks for any info!*

  • Thanks Joe! Great info. So much debate about this topic in the AS groups. My F150 PowerBoost has a huge tow capacity rating but the payload is only 1386. So my Bambi 22' is perfect. No bigger AS for me.
