I appreciate the advice and opinions on weights and believe the intent is sincere, but I still need some input on my original question. Can a Mobile Suites be towed with a short bed Dodge, be it SRW or DRW? Using a Pullrite hitch, which at 90 degrees will push the trailer back 14", is there enough clearance for the edge of the trailer to pass safely by the pickup cab? I know it was easy to assume that my present truck was the topic of discussion. The front end changes in mid 2012 seems to have made this impossible, but there is much confusion even in the DRV engineering dept. Because of the design change there is almost a two foot difference in the distance between the leading edge of the cap and the pin.
There has also been a great deal of discussion on GVWR, GCWR, factory specs and pin weight which I have appreciated. But I have yet to be able to ascertain the factory provided dry empty weight and pin weight of a 2010 36' MS. I cannot even find this information on the DRV Web site.
Can anyone help with this.
