Looking to purchase a 5th wheel, this will be my first RV. I've got a F-250 and looking mostly at used trailers. Pointers on what to really look for in a used unit vs. new would be appreciated. There is one in particular I'm interested in. It has sat under cover and on concrete (2 yrs) since it was originally purchased, what concerns would the forum have with this type of unit?
Couple of things already mentioned, It would be helpful information to know the year of your truck. Also, use the 5er's GVW, not it's dry or empty weight...you won't be towing it "dry" or "empty". (thus not a realistic weight)..Take 20% of 5er's GVW and get a more realistic idea of what the "loaded" pin weight might be. All this will help get a better idea of the combo you're getting ready to put together.
