To OB.....We already have an older unit but are trying to decide whether to upgrade as Patti retires around August next year. As you can see by my sig it is a "91"/"92" Road Ranger 32', Front LR 5th Wheel. LOVE this unit and not sure how worried we should be about a ~23 year old unit.
That being said, I am sort of trying to find out where we should go on size.
Our truck (by our sig) was weighed when we licensed it, fuel full, 6850#.
GCWR-----20000#
GVWR----- 9200#
FAGWR----- 4800#
RGAWR----- 6084#
Our present 5th Wheel
GVWR-----13890#
FGAWR----- 6000#
RGAWR----- 6000#
I know a person cannot rely on the "posted weights" but here they are
Dry------- 8114#
Hitch------ 1890#
The unit I would love from just looking at it would be the Arctic Fox 29K or 29-5T, with the 29K being TOO heavy on the hitch and the 5T being heavier than I want so we need to find a unit to fit into a fairly narrow window. Would like to stay lighter than what we have now. I know that size really does not make a big difference when you are pulling a non-streamlined brick down the road but we generally have run about 6mpg-7mpg. But most all our pulling has been in the Sierra's or going to Montana and back. There are those that think that mileage is way too low, BUT...We would like to be in the 28'-29' range. But all this is really for another forum. Sorry to have rambled. But now I have weights for my truck and 5th Wheel.
So thanks to all the info so far. This forum is always very informative and many of us really appreciate all the info.
APPRECIATED.
