Better check the rating on your receiver hitch (it will be stamped on it). I tow a 38' 11K trailer with 1600# tongue weight with a F250 (2016). I use a Reese DC, heavy duty (1700# rating) and it has distorted my class IV hitch. The pin holes are elongated and lots of slop in it. I'd put a class V on it,
Checked and it has a Class V on the truck already. Going to jump over to the Open Range forums and see if I can see what someone there might be using.
Will have to investigate the amount of additional weight that will be added. All the storage is in the back along with the bedroom. So not sure how much more will be added.
Thanks for all the advice. Want to make sure the setup is safe.
