As usual on here things almost immediately turn to the weight topic. The OP asked for opinions on model floor plans, not what he can/cannot tow. For all we know he's trading for an F450 tomorrow !
Yes he could be but he didn't indicate that so based on his sig I was just giving him my opinion at what floorplans/sizes he should be looking at compared to what his current truck can safely tow. He didn't ask about a specific floorplan to give opinions on. The OP doesn't have to take my or anyone else's opinions but having had 3 different toy haulers I know they are heavy and want everyone to be safe and enjoy their camping experience and not be white knuckled the whole time when towing.
First time poster here and since the weight issue came up, I have a newbie question. I'm looking into 2006/8 35' TH with advertised 1500 empty pin. On paper it looks good but obviously it will vary depending on loading, empty/ full tanks, genset etc. My question to the dirt bike folks is.....If you load say.. 3 dirt bikes in the aft portion of the garage, how will that effect pin weight and CG? seems you could manipulate the pin weight to some extent based on loading.. yes? no?
don't mean to hijack the thread but thought this was good place to ask since the weight issue surfaced. Thank You
