    "Antique Vehicle

    Antique license plates are issued for cars, trucks or motorcycles that are at least 25 years old and are a collector’s item. The vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest. Vehicles displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising. The vehicle may be driven to and from a location for routine maintenance.
    Never heard of anyone in my area being hassled for antique plates.

    I dont have a clue how heavy it was.It was 43 ft long and had I think 5 slide outs.It didnt tow bad except for a storm I ran into out in Nebraska,blew me all over the road.I pulled off until it cleared back up.For sure the longest and heaviest tow behind ive pulled.I pulled alot of 38ft Mobile Suites out of Indiana to parts all over.They would make it squat a bit, but towed great.

    Looks like a park model rather than something you normally tow much.

    Just saw a semi truck and 7 car trailer for sale for $23000, also box trailers for 2-4000, that would set some of you guys up for moving. (Actually I've often thought if I moved cross country, I'd buy a box trailer, pay an OD to haul it, and sell it when I got there)

    Yes it was a park model.Thankfully it was a pretty new one and hadnt sat much.I checked it over before heading out.

    Drove Kevin's diesel back to SC from Texas with the cruise set at 70 and made 19.6 MPG. This truck is the way to cruise! He set it back back to stock but it will go like a bat out of hell.

    it is a damn good towing rig. No doubt about that. The tires are a little bigger so the speedo isn't right. It should be a hair over 20mpg. When it has the stock tune in it still has 325hp and 610tq which is a boat load of power for it empty.
