Thank you for all the comments.
The Fifth wheel that we are looking at is light 1300 to 1500 pound tongue weight. So I feel the 2850 payload of the 2500 will be enough. The passenger payload is around 600 and the other stuff in the truck has been around 400-500 pounds putting me at around 2500 pounds of tongue weight, people and stuff. This is based off of my previous trips in the trailer.
Appears to be a better set up, better hooking up and unhooking and the sway debate makes sense since the pivot point is in front of the rear wheels.
Looks like a Fifth Wheel is going to be purchased this spring.
Thanks,
Jim and Tera
