Hi,
I am making the jump from a travel trailer to a 5th wheel and am looking for any advice or feedback you can give me on towing with a 5th wheel vs. the TT prior to my picking it up. My current trailer is 29 feet and about 7k pounds and I pulled it with a Tundra.
I am getting a 41 foot 5th wheel that weighs about 13k pounds. I will be towing it with a Ram 3500 long bed diesel SRW (with a 4200 pound payload capacity). Any advice on how I should adjust my driving with the bigger trailer in making turns, backing up, etc?
I am a little uneasy about the extra size and length and not sure how backing up will be compared to the bumper pull.
Thanks for your help

Find a large parking lot, get some cones and friends, and PRACTICE! You'll want to use your mirrors a lot more, too.

This is what I would recommend.
