Re: Grand Design Reflection 29RS - Or Comparable

Forget dry weights - work only with the GVWR from the sticker on the fifth wheel you are considering. Use 23% of that number for an estimated loaded pin weight. Using that pin weight, determine whether or not you have enough rear axle capacity remaining on the truck after it is fueled up, loaded, all passengers are aboard, and the weight of your hitch added. This can be obtained by utilizing nearby CAT scales, the door sticker on your truck, and a calculator. Forget the general towing numbers published by the manufacturer.

That said, it's hard to do better in that price and weight range than the Reflection... but I'm prejudiced that way.
