I still don't understand why people use "empty weight/dry weight's" of a 5er to give examples of....One REALLY needs to use the GVW of the rv whether it's loaded to that weight or not..It makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE...No one tows one "empty" or "dry", nor do they drop "dry pin weight" onto their hitch...sorry, it just doesn't make any sense.
Mobile Suites, in my opinion has a very good, high quality unit. To the OP, just make sure your truck is up to towing it, I'd take the GVW of the 5er and take 20% of that to figure out what kind of pin weight you'll be dropping in the bed of the truck...There are still a whole lot of campgrounds out there that you shouldn't have any issues at all camping in. My 5er is at 39' 9" and I've camped everywhere we wanted to stay...just looked at sites on the internet to see which one's work best for my unit.
