I'm sure it's technically possible to pull my fifth wheel with a SRW truck, but I wouldn't want to go barreling down the highway with a 36' long, 8' wide, 13' high box behind me without an extra set of tires on the road. If I get a flat or hit a crosswind, I'm not going to be spending the next few days in a hotel waiting to hear from my insurance adjuster.
It doesn't take that long to get used to the extra width and different handling characteristics of the dually, and when you're using it for towing, it's not any wider than your trailer. Unless the wife is planning to make you find a 6' wide trailer, I'm not sure her objection serves much purpose.
Just my 2¢.
omg! I must be missing all the trailers being pulled by srw in the ditch.
