Largest TT out there

I saw a Spacecraft bumper pull that is 48ft long. 40,000lb GVWR and 7000lb tongue weight. Way beyond the limit of any dually. It was being towed with a Freightliner. No weight distribution hitch. Used a pintle hitch.

I assume the buyer was older or had mobility issues and so didn't want 5th wheel stairs?

I've put about 45,000 miles on my trailer. Tires were bald by 30,000. Finally did those rubber suspension equalizers around 40,000 miles, and it was good I did. The shackles were nearly worn through, with some having only an 1/8" of steel left at the edge of the bolt hole.

It stays at our seasonal site year 'round. Our Honda CRV is borderline towing it and we haven't tried :) When the dealer delivered it, they were using a RAM 3500 Dually Long bed. Our site is just about 60' long and the combo just fit in the site.

I would love to put enough weight in the bunk house to reduce the tongue enough so I could drop it on the ball of the CRV, take a picture and ask if my setup looks doable. The CRV can handle a tongue weight of 100 lbs, I wonder how much weight I would need in the bunk house to lower the tongue weight that low :)

I have to guess the "Montana" 5ver is over 40 ft with several slides. The one reviewed in Trailer Life magazine cost over $200,000.00.

A bit large for my taste but they sell them.

Oh there are definitely some long ones 40' out there. I saw a couple at an RV show and I overheard a sales guy say, SURE your Ram 1500 can tow this!

Oh man, I wanted to Gibbs that idiot so bad, but my wife held me back. LOL

I had looked at the UVW and GVWR and that trailer sat there, empty at over 10,000 pounds. It was a 14K GVWR trailer. Not even a perfectly set up F150 with 13,200 capacity could tow that monster of a trailer. I just SMH and walked away.

Yeah, they are out there, really nice ones, but man that is one long trailer to tow, and even with a Dually it would be border line crazy, that is a lot of sail!

My ORV is 38' overall with 4 slides.

Forest River has a couple fully self contained destination trailers, such as the Sierra line, about 44' overall, with up to 4 slides, or some floorplans have a 2nd story loft.
