How is it not safe? it's very safe. He not once has had an issue.
the Trailer came factory with a rease hitch on the back for just this sort of thing. This combo is still smaller than a semi and this is way way lighter than what he has had on it b4.

We see that all the time here in CO. It's not legal in state but here you cam as lon as you're under 70' overall length. Definitely want to see a square pullong duals too.

Na...I haven't towed it since early october but I did come up I-5 from Sac to Portand.

GEMP- I do have tons of pictures of the inside during the overhaul, but since it might be getting off the thread topic I won't post them. If you want you can PM me and I'll send you a link.

Finally I get a pic of my setup. This is my '85 K30 with our '70 Aristocrat Lo-Liner 17ST, the trailer is a project but everything works and it gets the whole family out camping so it's the best $750 I ever spent. We usualy pull it with our '01 Yukon XL 2500 but I had to move it in order to put my '66 project into the portable garage for the winter.

gloriavoxdei · 11-20-2010, 07:32 PM

I hate pic errors, here it is.

menace121978 · 11-20-2010, 07:51 PM

i have a bunch from 25-30 years ago i need to scan. lots of good ones from when my grandparents used to pull the guts outta silver. heavy old 30 foot Terry trailer... we used to have some great summers

I don't think I've ever seen this thread before!

In an album I've got a snapshot of my old green K20 with the Holiday travel trailer taken somewhere up in the Yukon in 1977.

I will try to take a picture with the phone and transfer it to the PC someday soon.

1989V3500 · 02-04-2021, 10:51 PM

1995 Nomad 5th Wheel, I believe it was a 26 foot. This was pulled with the 383/4L80E combo.

**Corts60** · 02-05-2021, 03:22 PM

I'll play. 1st pic is my old 78 diesel before restoration. 2nd pic is my other 78 diesel. 3rd pic is my current 86 burb. All pulling the same 1954 Aloha I've had forever.

wyoben · 02-06-2021, 02:30 PM

AWESOME Guys ...we revived an 11 year old thread . I Greatly appreciate ALL replies...I still haven't taken pictures yet ,but what I have is a nice 1985 3/4 ton Chevy, and want to pull a 5th wheel trailer . So it looks like my frame is 34 inches wide , and my 5th wheel hitch is 42 inches wide. It looks like I will need to buy or fabricate brackets to bolt on frame . when I take pictures of my hitch etc . you will see. For now ,I appreciate your help , perhaps in the future we can pm and exchange phone numbers to talk as needed thanks Ben
