5th wheel real world number request
Ok made the mistake of going to rv show last weekend with wife. We have. 33ft TT that I'm happy with. Rear kitchen model. Wife myself and 4 small dogs.
Well as wife's go she always likes to window shop and loves fivers. I love 3 things about fivers. Ceiling height, pass thru storage and fifth wheel hitch. To help me explain to her what our truck can handle will the fiver veterans chime in on what weight range we could handle.
She knows we can't even look at 15k fivers. New truck is not an option. I would love a diesel but that's not happening
I'm not a newbie I know factory weights mean nothing but at least they are a baseline to start. Below are my truck specs. I'm not looking to push limits been down that road with a f150. I prefer a comfortable towing experience Looking for a baseline on fiver weights to compare to my truck
Any advice is appreciated.
