Traded in the travel trailer
Traded the bunkhouse travel trailer in and brought this home on Thursday, went to Canada for the weekend on a short trip. Loving every thing about the fifth wheel. Didn't care for the way it sat so ...

Congrats! Nice rig! With 42 ft., you've obviously got plenty of room to relax!
Agree with Cummins12V98, probably a good idea to have your rig CAT scaled.
Our 2016 Ram 3500 SRW squats more or less level with 3200 lbs. of payload (2800 lbs. of pin weight and approx. 400 lbs. gear in the truck). Have about 5 1/4" of rear suspension travel empty (top of the axle housing to the rubber axle stop). Loaded as mentioned, it drops about 3", with about 2 1/4" of travel remaining.
Looking at the picture, I'd say your pin weight could be as high as 3500-4000 lbs. That's a long trailer. With a lot of gear loaded in the basement and towards the front, the pin weight can creep up quickly.
