Open Range?
I'm new to RVing. I'm a catastrophic insurance adjuster and have to travel around alot and I'm completely tired of living in hotels. :) Towing shouldn't be an issue as I drive a 2500HD Silverado wit...

Yeah, I'm starting to think I'll need a lighter 5er...or a TT instead.
Looks like I'll be maxing her out even with a lighter 5er and I really don't like the idea of pushing a truck at its max on long hauls....even though they rate them really low, imo, to make sure they cover their own butts. I'd put a higher rated tire, but that won't matter as the axle would be the weak link at that point.
That is why we had to go with the journeyer 340 FLR. Cargo capacity on the truck!!
We loved the Open Range journeyer floor plans.
The 340FLR is like a 5'er but a bumper pull. All the cargo in the trailer cargo area reduces the hitch weight because it is behind the trailer wheels. We have the same cargo area as a 5'er. Take a look at this unit on Highland Ridge's website.
