We got the rv hauled for us. The hauler said the tongue weight was 3850. Is a dually going to be an absolute requirement to pull it safely?
Assuming the trailer was empty, when the hauler weighed it:
- Stuff you put in the trailer will generally increase the pin weight proportionally (20-25% of what you put into it).
- Add a couple hundred pounds for the hitch.
- Add 300-400 for the people (more if you have a large family).
- Add in firewood, gas, generator, etc... in the truck bed.
Don't be surprised if you aren't closing in on 5000lb once you are loaded for travel. That's definitely diesel dually size (and older diesel duallys may be overloaded)
