OP, as you can see there is a ton of info here from many RVers. For many years my family owned an RV sales and repair shop in California. We were a shop that were square with the customer and always set up rigs correctly. This wasn't always popular. For the most part everyone who posts likes there rig for their reasons. For that reason most here are pretty darn sure the info they are providing you is the best. As time goes on you will get the hang of chewing up the fish as spitting out the bones. I'm kind of the in the live and let live camp.......unless someone is suggesting a lazy attitude toward towing, rigs or lash up. There's a lot of persons here that suggest only 3/4 ton trucks.........I lean that way. Lot of persons are 5th wheel only and why bother with a tail dragger type rig.........I'm a tail dragger rig. A lot of the tail draggers think the only safe W.D. hitch is the super expensive Hensley Arrow type set up.....Again, not me.........but don't get a bargain basement $200.00 Chinese unit. There is so much info out there at dealers and on the internet it's scary. A lot of that info is bad. A lot of it is good and all of it needs to be sifted thru your filter with the assistance of an experienced unbiased counter part. And just a heads up regarding W.D hitch up time. Once the ball is under the coupler.........6 minutes and I'm ready to roll.........including the friction sway. control
