Keep 5'vr GVWR under 14K and you will be fine.
The pin weight on our 5'vr is little over 2900#.
Puts us right at truck GVWR, RAWR and load rating on rear tires.
ON EDIT:
Looked at a 2013 Brochure for Traditions
The 'dry pin weights' start at 2875#
A DRV may NOT be in your future with that SWR
A loaded trailer ready to camp pin weight will be closer to 3050-3100#
I am fairly certain you are right. We have looked at RV's for a year and think a Redwood 31SL might be right for us and our truck. However, I am going to look closer at the Mobile Suites at the Hershey RV show in September. I read online that the "Tradition" line was built to compete with other 5th wheel brands like Montana. If the pin weight empty is around 2500, I would be willing to look closer.
