We have retired, sold our home,downsized our belongings and bought a 2016 RAM 2500 Cummins. We have been looking at 5th Wheels for 2 months. I keep hesitating on making a final decision because I have...
Wrong horse or to big of a rider. As stated above you are caught in the 250/2500 Catch 22.
We have a 2105 3500 RAM 4x4 CC SB SRW and a 16K 5th wheel that we are currently full timing in. We are close to 16K for the trailer GW, close to the RGAWR of 7K and 50 pounds over the 11,700 GVWR of the truck. This is not 250/2500 range.
Pin weight is the problem with 250/2500 trucks. You have to include the weight for the hitch and everything else that goes into the truck.
