Going from TT to 5er
Greetings,
So after saying I would never own a fw, I find myself thinking it may be the way to go. We own a Hideout 23RBWE travel trailer at about 6500lbs. TV is a 2014 Ram 2500 CTD CC SB with a cargo rating of 2100 lbs. We want a larger trailer and started looking at 28 -30 ft and found what we liked was called 30-actual 35 ft in length. We like the Rockwood Signature 8310SS in a tt and see the same layout in a 5er - the 8280WS. The 8280WS has a empty wt of 7513 and pin weight of 1089 lbs. I'm thinking the 5er to be a shorter overall combo and easier to maneuver. How much will the pin weight gain when loaded? Also how do I know if my bed height will work? The 5er comes with a Reese Revolution pin box.
Thanks
