Old-Buscuit I don't understand what point you are trying to make. Are you saying that my fiver is too much for my tow vehicle? Let's see. My truck axle (3.55) is rated to pull a fifth wheel with a max weight of 15,300 pounds. My coach, fully loaded and certified scale weighed (last trip to the ocean) was 13,982 lbs. I am a good 1300lbs under the max fifth wheel requirement. My trucks certified scale weight was well under the loaded max weight requirement for the F350. So, what is your point? Do I need a dually? I don't think so. Am I being unsafe? I don't think so. Could something weird happen and cause me problems? Sure. But something weird could just as easily happen to a dually. I say get what you want and are most comfortable with, and be sure to stay within allowable specs.
