Right truck, right hitch what else can you ask for????

Very nice!

What more could you ask for ?
how about a better hitch and better truck .


sorry you asked ?

nice set up catfish

We too have a TrailerSaver and love it! With that said, his setup is nice and works for him, so he couldn't ask for anything more.

Prior to our fifth wheel, we had a 32'TT and had a Hensley Arrow - towed like our fifth wheel.

Towing a 5th wheel is a pleasure. My wife comments frequently that she sometimes forgets it's back there, more with this truck than previous ones. Crosswinds and trucks passing, not noticeable.

That's a nice camper. I really like that flat roof, opposed to the 5er roofs that are 2 levels. It looks like a 5er but does not look like a "monster" 5er, and even has 3 axles! So I know it's big! But it doesn't look "that" big. I think the difference is the flat roof.

Oh ... and ... nice truck too!
Congrats!

We really like it so far. It's a 2014 that our friends bought new last year and used once. Things changed in their life and we bought it from them. It feels huge compared to our old TT since its 43 feet long, but the real difference is in height. I don't like underpasses any more. LOL. It feels so tall.

Congrats on the new addition! So honestly, how does it compare to towing a travel trailer? I'm about to make the switch to a fifth wheel too,but not anywhere near the size of yours. LOL! I've been towing a travel trailers for years but never a fifth wheel. I'm curious to see if there is much of a difference.
Best of luck with it!

Towing was way better, even being about 4500 or more pounds heavier now. It was windy, and I felt nothing. The only thing I have to watch is turning. The fifth wheel really cuts the corners. Other than that, it's been a great experience so far.

Forgot to mention that hitching and unhitching is even easier now.
