Thanks for posting this I am very happy with my 5th wheel set up but had thoughts of getting an "A" in a few years. As a matter of fact I have been afraid to step inside of an "A" because I may like it too much. In a couple more years I would like to visit Alaska and thought making the trip in an "A" would be nice, now I appreciate what I have a lot more.
PS I have been un-hooked from my 5th for over a week and the truck ride is real harsh without the extra weight of the RV sitting in the truck bed. When I am hooked up the truck rides great but when you un-hook it is not a pleasant ride.
Run your rear tires at 45psi when unloaded! I have a similar truck and mine rides like a limo!
I run 55psi loaded with 4,500# pin weight and is where it should be based on weight chart.
Tire psi makes a huge difference in ride quality. Also if you have air bags run them at 5 psi unloaded.
Change your shocks to Bilstien's Blue and Yellow forget the #.
Some one once told me that running your tires at the lower pressure when unloaded would create the sidewalls to wear quicker due to the extra flexing at the lower pressure. So I have me rear tires at 80 psi and it is like riding on bricks. Does any when know how much truth if any to what I was told. Would much rather ride at the lower pressure when not pulling.
