Thanks for everyone's input so far. I'll look at 5th wheels 11000-12000LB with a Pin weight of 25% or less. I should be ok then. I'm looking forward to the Tampa show. I've been to a couple big shows up North but never one that advertises having trams to get people around if needed. It must be huge!
I think you're going to want to shoot for a trailer that is more like 9-10k empty with a 12-14k GVWR.
Loaded pin weight is what matters. Virtually any trailer is going to have an empty pin weight below 25%, but that doesn't really matter. What matters is going down the road.
