Good reminder, and I'm excited to actually get my 2002 Lance 811 on my truck!
I'm used to towing a 9k travel trailer, but with the Hensley Arrow hitch you could cruise at 70 mph easily in most conditions. Keep the gain and the lead on the trailer brakes turned up and stopping distance was decent.
I'll be running close to max with the Ram, but I'm holding off with any suspension mods until I make a few trips and see how she handles.
But you nailed my #1 concern: not so much the weight per se but how the height of the load will affect stability. Cross winds on the interstate and another concern.
