Hello, Guys
I ended up going to Camping World in Woodstock GA. When I was getting out of my truck. I noticed a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 towing a large fifthwheel. I was just curious on how much that Camper weighed. I started talking to the Gentleman and he was very nice and was able to answer all my questions. First I ask for the Dry weight of this Camper he said it was #15,800 dry and not sure what the total weight but its gotta be close to #17,000. I asked him how his truck pulled this camper and he said he was very well not to hard to stop just have to plan ahead a little like with anything that size. He said his pin weight was around 2200lbs he just added air springs and the truck set level with 30 lbs. With that being said I shouldnt have a problem with a dry weight 11,000 and gvwr of 14,000. I will be adding air bags before the purchase of the fifthwheel Also he had a diesel engine with the regular size bed.
