Towing

I am looking at toy haulers. One that I found is the Fury 2910 made by Forest River.I ride a Spyder. My son wants me to get a fifth wheel. I want to store the toy hauler in my pole barn and the fifth wheels are to tall to fit in. I know there is a lot of knowledge about towing on this forum. Please tell me the pros and cons of bumper pull and fifth wheel.

  • I have a one ton dully. I am going from a Lance truck camper no slide. We horse camped for fifteen years. But now go to Florida. For years we were fine it the truck camper. But this last year it just felt to close. No where to set and be comfortable. The main problem is the storage. The fifth wheels are to tall. I have a thirty by sixty pole barn to use for storage.
  • Bumper is easier to back up.
    But you get used to a 5th wheel.
    Pin weights on 5th wheels are a lot higher than tongue weights on bumper pull. So make sure you have enough truck to tow a 5th wheel.
    5th wheel tows so much better, no sway, tracks better.
  • Stability is usually the number 1 top pick for fifth wheels.
