Hi All,
Thanks for all the discussions on this SRW vs DRW quesion:
I was trying to sum it all up and came up with this.. am I close?
- $345 difference in price from a SRW
- People say that the DRW sits on the road like it was on rails when towing and is much more ‘stable’
- It is however wider by about 12”. People say that if the mirrors fit then your hips fit as well but you have to be careful when parking.
- The DRW carries more load than a single rear wheel and so opens the 5th door to just about anything we can see.
Would I be able to tow most except the VERY largest 5th wheels with a SRW 3500?
My problem is that one we arrive on site and setup the RV then the tow vehicle becomes the family car, so we cant have something that is unusable as a family car for sightseeing, shopping etc
