What would I say????? Love your trailer! NuWa was indeed one fine fifth wheel in any model. A shame they ended manufacturing.
YEP we had a conversation of the quality of build and what a shame they were no longer built.
Like I said if you see something that is or may be a life/safety situation there are ways to let someone know like I did as part of a friendly chat. The guy DID appreciate me letting him know he most likely was over his tires capacity and a trip to the scales would confirm that one way or the other.
Personally even with the tires being ok I would never tow something so heavy with that truck. Heck yea it will pull it but how will it do in a panic lane change with hard braking?
Apprx what weight is that trailer? I could't decipher from the list of #s in your first post. Please give me an idea as it's hard to say if he was safe or not. Thank you.
BTW It sounds like you were polite in your dealings with him so that's the main thing.
I had a 36' DRV that weighed 18-19K and I do know the Champagne's are VERY heavy so I would quell at a minimum 19k. They are full timers. at 15 percent pin that would be 2,850# but I would say closer to 20 percent at 3,800#.
Polite is where it's at. Personally I would appreciate someones comments as long as they were civil.
