We have a 2009 Palomino Puma 30fqss that is stored at Myrtle Beach right now but we need to bring it to Texas.

This weekend we are driving our 2015 F150 down to SC to have an Equalizer Distribution hitch put on the trailer (and brake control) before we begin the trek back to Texas.

My question is do you think the f150 will be able to handle the long trip. The towing capacity for the truck is 9100 lbs and the dry weight of our camper is 6700. I know on paper it sounds good but this will be our first time towing and we are very nervous.

I think you'll be ok, especially if you don't load the truck or trailer with too much stuff.

My advice: Give yourself at least one or two days of test towing/hitch adjusting before you head back home. Sometimes even a correctly adjusted hitch needs tweaking for a nice steady tow, and you have a long tow ahead of you.
