When I bought the TC the previous owner had it stored in his backyard on a very soft spot. One side of my truck would sink and it was quite an experience to get loaded. I don't think the previous owner had ever loaded it on his truck. Probably took 2 hours to get it on there. I store it on a gravel pad with the 5th. Not much sinking issue.
I'm right at my 4018# payload, around 3900#. If we change 5th wheels to a heavier model I will go to a dually.
Comment about a jack spacer....I have to use plywood 1" spacer in the front of my truck bed. If not I can't open the back doors of the truck, they hit the folded dually jacks. A jack spacer will aggravate that issue unless it is between the truck and jack as opposed to the folding "wing" and jack itself. If I'm visualizing the jack correctly.
