Hello everyone!

As I am a new member and hope to soon be owner of a RV I am looking for advise and info on anyone who full times in their toy hauler.

I currently am looking into the voltage line and venom.

I would like to stay at a double axle since I will be towing with a 2016 Ram 2500 6.7

any advise for long extended stays and full timer pointers would be great! Thanks!

Be careful. Even some of the dual axle toy haulers can easily push your Ram 2500 over its limits.

5th wheel toy haulers are notorious for high pin/hitch weight. Also, the actual, real world pin/hitch weight is typically quite a bit higher than the manufacturer's advertised empty pin/hitch weight.

Our tow vehicle is a '16 Ram 3500 Cummins SRW. We purposely purchased the smallest Voltage 5th wheel toy hauler to keep our pin/hitch weight acceptable. Advertised pin/hitch weight on our toy hauler was 2,300 lbs.---actual 2,800 lbs. Loaded for the road we have 3,200 - 3,300 lbs. of payload---nearing the payload limit for our Ram 3500. 3,300 lbs. would be at or over the limit on a Ram 2500---that's based on the RAWR, not payload. Again, this is with Voltage's smallest 5th wheel toy hauler.

The sales people at our dealership told us our Ram 3500 was twice the truck necessary to tow any dual axle Voltage toy hauler. Simply, not true!
