First off let me apologize for being so confused here. The more I read about this the more my head spins. I am new at this so please bear with me. Yesterday at an RV show a salesman told me that the 16,000 lb fifth wheel he was selling could be towed by almost any 3/4 ton truck. His reasoning was that because the tongue weight (if that's the proper term) resting in the bed of the truck was almost 3000 lbs. He said that to calculate how much you are towing, you deduct that 3000 lbs and the "towing" weight is only 13000 lbs. I always assumed that the towing weight was the actual weight of the trailer. Is this guy right or is he blowing smoke?
