Dual rear wheel or single rear wheel?
Hello all!! Brand new here to the forum. I have just purchased and brought home our new 5th wheel(with a buddies truck)and I am getting mixed reviews on which setup to get. Our 5th wheel is a Palomi...

Thanks to all for your input! I see the big difference when I look at the rear axle weight ratings: 7k on the SRW and 9,750 on the DRW. What has me scratching my head though, is the SRW I am looking at (3.42 gears)is rated to tow 17,150 with a payload of 4,020, while the dually I am looking at (3.73 gears) has a tow rating of 16,800 and a payload of 4,270. By the way, I updated my profile page with dimensions and weights for the Columbus.
So are you going to see the USA or go South in the fall and North in the spring?
You want a RAM with the Aisin automatic, not the 68RFE RAM tranny, especially with the SRW 3.42. The Aisin has a lower 1st and 2nd gear to get a load moving.
The numbers you posted to not match any I can find. So more details on the trucks you looking at. The listed CC in the charts is for low trim levels.
Example my Laramie is around 300 pounds less that the 3920 on the chart.
