All true but I thought it was odd except of how poor our brakes had been.

It hit me this morning another reason for selling the 2500 truck. We wanted a new 35 ft alpenlite and I felt the 2500 was not enough truck to handle the bigger fifthwheel. The 32 ft was a good match for the 2500 so when the brakes sucked so bad it was a no brainer to get a bigger truck and of course the dually was the only choice no matter the brand.

I totally agree the Brakes could be better on the 94- early 2001 RAM's. I did the EGR rear disk kit and upgraded front pads and the braking was OK. We had a Avion Platinum 32.5' combined wt of 20.5K. The truck handles the RV well but I always told my wife no way would I tow anything longer or heavier with that truck.
We wanted a larger RV so look where we are now!
