The Fifth wheel that we are looking at is light 1300 to 1500 pound tongue weight.
Be very careful, most RV dealers and brochures will give you the dry pin or tongue weight. It typically is far from what you will experience when fully loaded and added water. Use the GVWR of the coach and multiply by .25. That should get you into the ballpark. I am skeptical that a 1300-1500 pound pin weight is real because that would mean the fifth only weighs about 6000-7500 pounds gross. It is almost impossible to find a fifth of any size (28 feet like you were comparing to the TT) that only weighs 7500 gross. You might want to refresh your numbers or go to the GM dealer and start pricing one ton trucks. Most 28 foot fifth wheels will weigh at least 9000 pounds and many will be over 10,000 gross.
