Just a bit of nomenclature too. The term "hdt" usually refers to using a semi tractor type truck to pull a 5th wheel camper. A single unit rv built on a semi tractor type truck chassis would more commonly be referred to as a "truck conversion." Yay for looking at a truck conversion purchase. They are great. Weight isn't the issue as Rad said. My t/c is 36' long and with full (200 gallons) water tanks I'm under 27k lbs. The only place you might not be allowed in is one of those "class A only" parks. Their rules sometimes say if it's got a hood it's not a class A. Who would want to stay with a bunch of class A rigs that don't allow hoods anyhow?

A t/c is a great rv platform. Don't let any salesman from a rv dealer that doesn't sell t/c's tell you otherwise.
