Can I tow my new camper safely
I just bought a new camper with a UVW of 8130# towing with a 2008 chevy 1500 4x4 w/5.3L motor and 3.73 gears. Do you think I will be all right towing this?

Bumpy, sorry for this misquote.
Terry,
I live in California and do most of my camping here and our state does require license endorsements if towing a 5th wheel over 10,001 GVWR but between 15,000GVWR. California also requires Non Commercial Class A for 5th wheels 15,001 GVWR and over. That would be pretty easy to prove if the driver had the proper license all you'd have to do is look at the trailers weight rating sticker.
