I'm still sorting and getting rid of stuff but this looks pretty reasonable to me. I have overload springs I'll be installing in the rear before the trip -- new tires, struts (KYB), HDs in the back.
I am a bit worried about a trailer heading out of CA with the windy roads but I think I'll just have to get over that. I wonder if there are any winds on that trip that compare to the winds in TX that people keep mentioning.
Practice a few emergency stops.
Plan B:If you can get the funds, buy a used pick up and a used car trailer in No. California; use them to travel cross -country, then sell the truck and trailer in South Carolina.
Hell, you might break even or eke out a small profit.
Unless you fill it with car parts and other dense things. We measured one at ~7000 lbs once.If i could get by with putting stuff on roof. Id go that route. If not, a 10' enclosed trailer isn't that big of a deal for a 240.
Thanks! I was thinking of going with a U-Haul trailer but I will look into maintenance issues.
I know somebody selling a trailer and was also looking at the Harbor Freight trailers. I'm not sure how much I would trust anything from HF.

Anything "one way" from U-Haul is somewhere between questionable and a death wish. They handle maintenance very differently for a rig that each dealer knows will never come back.
Get rid of your crap until it all fits. I bet you are carting around a ton of useless crap
