New guy buying his first toyhauler - have concerns
First off, I have browsed the forums for a while now while my wife and I searched for our first toy hauler. We are not new to campers, but we are new to campers this large. We have potentially made a deal on a 2008 Coachmen Adrenaline 400DS from a dealer in Kentucky, but I am getting some cold feet on it mainly due to the size of the trailer versus my truck. I am looking for some advice on whether or not my truck can tow this trailer.
Truck: 2012 Ram crew cab 2500 4wd - 6.7 Cummins (full deletes)
Camper: 2008 Coachmen Adrenaline 400DS
Dry Weight: 12,,552 lbs
GVWR: 18,000 lbs
Our dilemma is that we have a 2016 RZR XP 1000 4 seater (1,700 lbs) that requires at least 12' of garage space to fit. My wife wants a separate living space so that when we aren't towing the RZR along we can still use it as a typical camper with the garage as a bedroom for the kids instead of having the fold out couches and seats. Around my area, the only thing that fits our budget and needs is a 5th wheel hauler.
I could really use some discussion before we make the 3 hr drive to KY to buy this thing to make sure we know what we are getting into in advance. Is this camper too much for the truck?
