Emoji's do not provide adequate humor intentions per house rules. Refrain from jocular remarks unless you site your agenda in a fashion that explains the joke in detail and in all honesty to all readers.

But on a side note, I was thinking helper springs myself!

A great example of the difference between "But it pulls it just fine, it's a little over the payload, but the rear axle capacity looks good" and "About to bust the rear axle or tires from excess weight"..... This is apparently a "Barnum's fool's are born every day" kind of RV'er.......

I think this one already has air bags. Maybe they could use rollers on the bottom of the front levelers and then extend them?

Ok, this is a joke and not intended as real advise. Don't really do this under any circumstances. Period!

Now that does look funny to me until I start thinking about meeting that guy on a highway somewhere. Where is the law enforcement officer to impound that truck and trailer?

Watch what you wish for... if the Leo's ever start to aggressively police RV weight laws.... there'll be rigs parked at every wide spot in the road..

How true that is !!!!! Almost every trip we take I see one or two (sometimes many more) overloaded RV's. Last trip there was a triple axle toy hauler, probably 40' (maybe longer) towing a Ranger bass boat (likely 4500 to 6000 pounds) behind a Chevy DuraMax 2500. The entire rig was probably 85-90' long, well over 20K of trailer and boat, and he passed us like we were "sitting still". Then there's the half ton trucks with the 10' cabover camper and a back seat full of kids.

If any state ever starts enforcing RV weight limits, there's going to be lots of spaces available in campgrounds and/or empty lots at most truck dealers.....
