Towing a small 5th wheel with a 1/2 ton truck
I am thinking of trading in my TT for a 5th wheel.... I have a Dodge Ram 1500, 4.7L V8 with towing package. The specs show that I should be able to tow 7300 lbs. Do you see any problems with towin...

Might work if you don't mind mashing the pedal with the hazards flashing and getting passed by a fat kid on a bicycle in the hills. Descending will test your nerves and gas mileage will suck. We over estimated the towing capacity of our first tv even though the specs said it should handle the load, gave up after the second trip. Go with a lighter bumper pull or get more truck.
That's funny, I've never had to use flashers yet even playing in the mountains out west. I'll admit, a low profile will pull easier then high profile but around here where there are no mountains I'll add another trailer. If I'm gonna play I may as well take the toys!!
