Pullrite 2600 with the big boys
I just ordered a pullrite 2600 which is rated for 20k . Search has brought up a few reviews threads on this hitch, and it seemed like everyone was happy. However it may not be an apple/apples comparis...

So you are saying the hitch mentioned should be used with toy haulers so the pin is less?
Tandem axle 5ers have 20-25% pin weight. On the higher side especially if fulltiming.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. So I will restate my point.
My post had nothing to do with using a specific hitch. I am saying that the rule of thumb you are using (20%-25%) is not a god given fact, but just a rule of thumb that applies to maybe most 5er's. However, that there are many 5er layouts that produce 15%-20% hitch weights, by design and layout.
For Example: If you look up factory numbers for the Grand Design 381m (NOT THE 381MS) you will find they are much less than 20%. Then if you look up peoples posts on what their hitch weights are for their FULLY LOADED 281m trailer weights... You will quickly find almost no one is breaking 20%. Most are at 16%-18%. It's not because they all decided to irresponsibly swing the rear end of their trailer down the freeway.
