Newbie-5th Wheel Rig. Just picked up a new Keystone HE Cougar Bunkhouse 33.5 ft. As soon as I left dealer went to truck scale with truck, driver and 5th. Have a Chevy 2010 HD Diesel 3/4 ton crew cab. standard bed. Rated: 23,000 Towing/Truck
Trailer Specs: 7410,Capacity 2590= Total 10.000 and Hitch 1390
Truck: Front=4300, Rear=3240 Total=7540 W/O 5th
5th wheel: 6180 Axles,
Truck hitched to 5th: Front=4320, Rear= 4620 total 8940 W/O Wife.
Total of both Truck & 5th = 15120
If I calculated correctly: Truck Front 4300, Rear 4620, Hitch wt. would be 1380 took above rears: 4620-3240=1380. Factory specs = 1390.
Truck rated at 9200 lbs.GVW
As mine sits: 4320+4620+20%/200+120 = 9260 Total
I searched to find a 33 footer with Bunks that I could tow without going too much over on truck capacity but I think this one should do fine.
