Newbie 5ver Towing Questions
Hello everyone, my name's Rob and this is my first post. My wife and I have owned a 26' travel trailer for a few years now, and we're almost certainly going to sell it and buy my mom's older fifth wheel.
Our tow vehicle is a 2008 F-350 Crew Cab (4 full doors), with a short bed (80" inside length, and 37.5" from the front inside rim to the rear axle).
The fifth wheel is a 2005 Holiday Rambler Alumascape 36' total length. My step father has the exact same truck as me, but his has a long bed, and he tows it using a Draw-Tite 40258 4-point hitch. I have taken some initial measurements which may help answer my questions.
I need some expert advice on how to begin deciding what options I have to pull this 5ver with my shortbed truck.
I searched the forums here, and found some good info on similar situations, but nothing really laying out all of the available options to help me make the right choice for me.
Thank you very much for your wisdom!
