Hi All,

i realize this question has been asked MANY times, but i still need to ask as there is ALOT of good information that comes from everyone on this site.
will going from a class A MH to a 5 this year
we have narrowed down our choice of the 5 to about 4 rigs all similar length and GVWR 13000 to 14500
if i understand correctly my pin weight on the above weight would be from 2600 to 2900..13000 x .20 = 2600 i understand that is DRY weight.. maybe add another 1K for loaded so anywhere from 3600 to 3900 for pin weight
in the next week i will be buying a 2015 ram 2500 or 3500
looking at the Ram spec sheet for the 2500 the GAWR for the rear axle is 6200
if i understand all of this correctly i would still be fine with a 2500???
Dodge is having some really good rebates this month so buying now for me is a good idea....if i could find a 3500 how i want it i would buy there are many 2500 that i like
i have read hours and hours of post about LB vs SB, dually vs single ETC.
dually at this time is not for me.
so i guess bottom line will a 2500 Cummings SLT automatic work for me.

appreciate all the great info i read on this site it has been very helpful

Bottom line, after reading all these post is the 2500 would probably work but the 3500 is really the proper tool for the job. Remember the internet is a tool. Surely you could find one by either you or your dealer doing a nationwide search. What fun to fly in and drive a new truck home! If you want to consider a Ford I would be happy to get an X-plan pin for ya. Good luck with your search, John
