Wow , what a great read! Dad and our family did all the things pointed out in this article that were wrong! I'm glad we survived! We had a 1971 c20 longhorn that I still have and drive. This article helped me decide not to put a camper on it, and to probably install 3 pt seat belts. Now I also know many of the shortcomings of the vehicle. Good to know. So many good points in the article. Thanks for posting it. Also I'll know better what to look for if I buy a big new truck to carry a camper!
