I don't have a front lounge FW yet but planing on the worst case scenario, 40' - 42', GVWR #16,000 and loaded tongue weight of @ 4000 lbs. We'll be full timing so I'll probably overload it. If Im reading the towing charts right an F-350 PS DRW with 3:73 gears won't do it until 2011. Not planning on doing a lot of traveling just snow birds but that could change once we get into it, want to be prepared. Am I interpreting this right? Thanks

I could be wrong but can't see the unit you're speaking of, being that long with only a GVW of 16,000# and a pin weight of that much, ie 4,000#....My 5er doesn't have a front lounge, but loaded, weighs in at 16,300# and has a pin weight of 3460#....

Worse case might be 40-42' with a GVW of 18,000# or so and then at that point having a pin weight of close to 4,000#....but am speculating due to not knowing what 5er you may be looking at.
