5th wheels on pismo
We are looking to purchase a 5th wheel with 15k max load weight. We’ve always taken out travel trailer to pismo and now I’m worried we might not be able to bring the 5th wheel if it’s too heavy for sa...

Your trucks RAWR is 6200# (max weight rear axle can carry....truck weight on rear axle plus 5th wheel hitch weight)
14K 5th wheel wet pin (trailer loaded up camp ready) will add 2900# to trucks rear axle
That will put you close/right at Trucks RAWR of 6200#
Pismo.....Lots of 5th wheels/Toy haulers etc out there
Tires will have to be aired down and pay attention to high tide
One thing...with 5th wheel GVWR under 15,000# you do not have to get a Non-Commercial Class A license that CA requires for 5th wheels over 15K (also required if Travel Trailer GVWR is over 10K)
