you drive a gasser !! SHHHHHHH LOL

I drive my gas bounder 10, 12, and 14 hours. I have little too no issues driving that long. Since we are not full time, getting there is not always part of the adventure, LOL

I am sure a DP is nice to drive but I still have no real issue with driving my Gas rig long periods. Again, everyone has their needs and what makes them happy, for my time, money and effort my bounder has been fantastic.

You are correct and love the pickup on the gasser, but did test drive a pusher an was very impressed by engine braking and air ride. What it's not like I cheated.........we didn't kiss..

You need a Safe-T-Plus and Sumos (or the CHF). There is no reason driving a gasser has to be fatiguing.

Some people are just different.
I know people who complain of fatigue after driving a nice car for 4-6 hours. Heck, I know somebody who would complain of fatigue if they had been the passenger in that car. Needless to say, such people would find driving a MH fatiguing no matter what suspension mods were in place.

Luckly, I am more like you and can go hours under normal conditions without fatigue.
