Real towing experiencing with SRW
Okay "Fivers", I've been around this forum a few years now and have on occasion shared my opinion based on my experiences. Hopefully someone has found at least one of my experienced based opinions to be helpful. Over the years I have owned a number of TT's, motorhome, and cab overs. Basically, I apparently have adult ADD so my mode of RV'ing interest changes with the wind . I have full timed for a year (2002), traveling the US, pulling a 30' TT with a half ton SRW. Many "experts" on this forum said it couldn't be done safely and would destroy the truck. Yeah, sure pal! Well, it must have been dumb luck. Because not only did I put 20,000 incident free miles on that rig, in one year (like I said...ADD, gotta keep moving!..LOL)but I sold it for top $. So, my point is....while theory and prognostication can be insightful and entertaining, they don't replace "real world" experience. With that said, I am currently considering selling my cab over and trying out a 5th. My tow vehicle is an 04 Cummins 2500 quad (mildly chipped) SB, SRW, with 19.5 tires/wheels and airbags. I would appreciate hearing from "fivers" towing with a similar rig. Specifically, what "fiver" are you towing and what is/are your opinion/s, good and bad?
