I have arrived here from the "Class A" side. I owned 2 HR for the past 6 yrs. 1 was a 36 ft. gasser and the other a 37 ft. DP. I have accquired a 1997 GMC 3500 ext. cab dulley w/454 engine. I will be looking for a 5th wheel to pull and need help in determining what I can safely pull. The truck is lacking Owners Manual so I do not have that info.

After I accquire this number, what do I do next?
