She sent me the VIN, I looked it up, well within the limits of her truck.
Where is this "VIN lookup" place that tells you an RV is "within the limits" of a given tow vehicle?
I've never heard of a website offering that kind of a database.
Not hard to find, just use that thing called Google, whatever VIN decoder you use basically gives you the exact specifications for that particular vehicle. The GVWR, the CGVWR, the axle GWR, the rear end ratio, the transmission and engine combination. Then head over to Trailer Life Tow Vehicle ratings, and look up the truck. I know the weight of the trailer, factor in the water, propane, and other misc. equipment, and I know that the combination will work or not. Sorry I didn't take the time to explain all that the first time, I've only been doing this trailer stuff for about 35 years or so.
