Erik,
I'm glad my long rant provided something useful, the 32-5M is sooooo nice! If you decide to order/buy one, I'd be happy to share what we learned about the process. This is our second new Arctic Fox, we've owned several other RVs, and nobody can match Northwood for durability (IMO).
Most will say you need a dually for this load, although the newer SRW trucks have a higher carrying capacity than my older '06 model.
I CAN tell you, with my 19.5 inch tires, it surprised me to find the truck handles much better with the RV attached than without. Running empty on tires aired to 110 PSI with tread depth much deeper than most LT tires, the truck wanders around on its tires more than I'm used to. It feels more solid and planted with the 5er attached.
Be well,
Randy
