Here is our typical travel day now that we have our HDT (Peterbilt 379). It usually consists of chaos and we're busy doing things all day. I guess that's why we don't move that often.

Often people forget that an HDT is no wider than a dually pickup. Further they tend to have a tighter turning radius. With the hitch basically on the rear bumper it is actually easier to park the trailer than with a pickup. Pretty cool IMHO.

I just wanted to thank all of the different people that commented that were asking what the problem was with the truck (HDT) since the title inferred or implied that there was a problem with their travel days due to the truck based on the title of the video. Thankfully, after reading the comments, I didn't even need to bother to watch the video. Thanks to all the commentors for saving me a waste of time. You're the best. To the owners of this channel or the people in the video, I would suggest that you not put clickbait titles in your videos anymore because people won't watch your videos and you won't get subscribers. I will potentially consider watching another one of your videos just to give you a second chance but if I catch you doing the same thing in another video again, I won't even think twice to not even bother wasting my time the next time after that. It's not a good thing to just put clickbait titles out because people get tired of that. You can take that however you want but I'm just telling you what pretty much everyone thinks when it comes to clickbait titles.

great setup but to save time consider pulling the 5th wheel off and loading the can am on the back of the truck. That will help to remove one step plus it should making driving a bit easier. Great setup and id love to know more about the truck.

How exactly is this the HDT’s fault? You blame the truck for double towing, but you tow a toy, that is not the truck’s fault. I see nothing at all that explains your title. We love our HDT. It made life SO much easier and travel days SO SO much nicer. (And faster) …so what is the deal?

CONGRATS ON THE 379. I MADE MY LIVING DRIVING THE BROWN THAT SAID UPS ON THE DOOR. COUPLE OF QUESTIONS; WHAT'S THE REAR END GEARING? WHY 2 DRIVE AXLES? ONE SINGLE DRIVE AXLE IS MUCH SHORTER AND WILL HANDLE GVW OF ANY 5TH WHEEL RV ON THE ROAD NOW. THE LITTLE CLIP OF YOU DRIVING LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE HAVE SOME TIME IN THE SEAT. WHO'D YOU WORK FOR? MY WIFE AND I ARE SLOWLY CULLING OUR HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO GET ON WITH FULLTIME RV'ING. BEEN LOOKING HARD FOR A SINGLE SCREW 386 BUT MAN THEY ARE DAMN NEAR NON EXISTENT. GOOD LUCK. HOPE TO MEET UP SOMETIME
