May I be so bold as to ask what you are going to be towing the 5er with? That may or may not make some difference in your decision making...Do yourself a favor and when you look at the 5er's that you're interested in, use it's GVW weight when doing the math....the "empty" or "dry" weight number isn''t all that helpful. No one tows an "empty" or "dry" rv when going camping. To figure pin weight, take 20% of the 5er's GVW and that'll give you a "ballpark" of how much weight you'll be putting in the bed of your truck when you hitch up to the 5er...Also add another 200# or so for the addition of a 5th wheel hitch.
I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere else, but again, I didn't see what truck you will use to tow the 5er....just some "food for thought" while thinking about what you're going to purchase..:)
sorry - forgot to answer this!
We do not yet have a truck - but are looking to tow about 12-13K. So I guess it is open ended just now!
Thanks
