Megacabs have very limited payload. Figure 200-250 lbs for a slider hitch and you are down in the 1800-1900 range for pin weight. Take the GVWR of trailers that you are looking at and figure 20% will be pin. You will find that you are limited to smaller entry level 5th wheel trailers.
So stay with a bumper pull!

The pin weight for the Open Range Light I am looking at is 1265 lbs (see link in original post). The gross weight is 9520 lbs. As far as size, we don't want a huge trailer, just something not too far north of 30'...just big enough for a couple empty nesters with a couple dogs. I have looked at Open Range products, and they don't seem entry level to me. I do not have my heart set on a 5th wheel at all, but I do like some of the features in this trailer. I really like the OR Roamer travel trailers as well. I am just examining options at this point.
