My front living room Montana has a 3100lb pin weight (22% hitch weight). That's not including the hitch, or any water in the tanks. And we have nothing in the living room portion but a few movies. My 3750FL has a GVWR of 16k, and it weighs in ready to camp at around 15k. Front living rooms are more pin heavy than traditional living 5th wheels.
Now as for the short bed portion... I have a Reese slider that I've never had to use. I have the morryde pin box on mine and can even show you pictures with it hooked up from the side if you'd like. I can go to 90 degrees also. Knowing what I know now, I would have not bought the slider, but who knows, maybe my "next one" I'll need the slider.
Thanks for the info on your 3750FL. We had originally wanted to go with that FW but realized it was too big for our truck. The 375FLF is exactly the same but with only one door. I would definately like to see your hookup if you can post some pictures. How is the Morryde? Thanks for everyone's help. Now I just have to figure out where to get 3,000 pounds so I can test my rear springs.
