I am buying my first 5th wheel. I have had a travel trailer before but this is new for me. I am getting a bit confused, sales people can do that, and am reading that most folks in my type of truck are running around with a 25-26 footer. I am looking at a 29' 2003 Monaco Lakota. I am hearing PIN WEIGHT is the most important. From my book it looks like I cant go over 11K, and I am hearing to stay at about 8K dry weight to make sure I am not over limit.
Am considering having the hitch done prior to picking up the unit so that the sales place doesn't have to do it and I was thinking it might be cheaper.
HELP?!
Thanks everyone
First, have you bought the truck yet? If so, what is the payload per the yellow sticker on the drivers door jamb? What are the weights of the Lakota? I have a 2003 Coachmen 30' 9600lbs GVW. I would pull this with an EB, if it had the Heavy duty tow and payload. You need to get all the numbers together before anyone can really help you. Otherwise all anyone can do is guess. Good luck, John
