We are currently full time SP Hosting and move as often as once a month or as seldom as once every three months. Down the road we may get a larger 5er so a DRW will make travel more comfortable.
Dont sell yourself short bud. My SRW megacab is pretty dang comfy running down the road @ 29k
That is a a lot of weight on a single rear wheel. The 5er is between 18k and 20k so pin is between 3,600# and 5,000#, assuming about 3,200# empty 6,800# to 8,200# on your two rear tires. The high end is not pretty.
My 5er is 15-15.5k and my boat is 5k ( depending on fuel and live well load).
