Wow Clint, that's really nice! I went to a similar size fifth wheel instead a T/C a couple of years ago. Not sure how much boost and better brakes you have, but I sure do notice the extra weight compared to a 5000 pound loaded camper. I took the Firestone airbags off, and the 19.5's off too.
My truck is still in good shape, about 120,000 miles on it now. Keeping the brakes OK seems to be my biggest issue and an annoying shake that comes at about 45 MPH no matter what set of tires I have on it.
I am thinking I will keep my 19.5's for winter use, and put a brand new set of Michelin Defenders on the truck. The Defenders are really nice tires, and come in the stock size. Very quiet and long lasting.
regards, Mike
Thanks Mike! Appreciate your support over the years. Thinking about getting rid of the 19.5's now. Looking forward to the extra room. Will miss the Adventurer and Snowriver campers though..
