Factory Pin Weight vs. Actual vs. Payload???
Hi, We are looking to get a 5th wheel and a truck. We have a big family so will need a big trailer. Looking at Mid Bunks, and one ton diesel trucks. I really don't want to get a dually if possible....

If that pin weight is factory advertised then you will be sadly disappointed. Factory advertised numbers are dry numbers. Meaning no battery, propane,water, food, clothes, or anything else you may cram in it. What is the GVWR of the fovers your looking at? Take 20% of that number. So e will argue you will not likely ever get clost to GVWR weights, thus that nu,ber is meaningless. I argue that it is worst case, so what? If you plan for the worst case then you know your safe. If you plan for the absolute minimum you will always be disappointed.
