Mobile Suites towed with short bed Dodge?
Can a 2010 Mobile Suites 36 be towed with a short bed truck with slider hitch? Buying different fifth-wheel burned. Last month we were trailer trash and now we are homeless.

I have a similar truck, but with the 6.7 Cummins. It pulls a 36 foot "very nose heavy" fiver with no problem. It's like the truck and trailer were made for each other.
But if I ever moved up that extra 3,000 pounds in trailer weight, my intent would be to not tow more more than 150 miles, and then park the trailer for six months.
Going down a smooth road at 55 mph is one thing. But bouncing through construction zones on the interstate, through lane shifts, surrounded by traffic all traveling above the speed limit, and staying out there on the road for 8 hours at a stretch is whole different matter.
If your intent is to both full time and stay on the road on a regular basis, then you probably should get more truck.
