Hey Dutchmen Sport, after looking at your pictures I had to wonder if there was actually any room left in your Springdale for people ?
Not picking on you as we probably have the same amount of stuff in ours but your pictures speak a thousand words on why having a decent carrying capacity is so important. We've been looking for a new fifth wheel for a couple of years now in the under 32' class. Found a couple in the Forest River family whose floor plan we like. Guess what ? The NCC on all of these units we've seen is between 900 and 1100 lbs. WAY too little. I wonder how many new buyers actually look at the weight stickers ? Then they wonder why they have problems with blowouts and bent axles.
