Thank You
Hi, I just joined your forum today but have been following it for months. Six months ago my wife and decided that we want to spend some of our winter months touring southern USA when I retire in a year or two. I knew nothing about Rving, fifth wheels, GVWR, GCWR, GAWR, pin weight, tow vehicles, etc. I couldn't distinguish between a good quality and poor quality 5er. But over the last six months, I've read thousands of articles on trucks, campgrounds, fifth wheels manufacturers, tire manufacturers, driving tips, etc. I've learned a TON of information from people like yourselves who have already experienced all this. Nothing like learning from someone else's experiences.
I have learned that I need to upgrade my 1/2 ton, to a one-ton diesel (for the trailer we want). I learned that not all fifth wheels are created equally. (We are currently leaning towards brands like Artic Fox, Excel, Hitchhiker and Komfort). While I still have lots to learn, such as what type of frames and trailer axles are best suited for a 14,000 pound trailer, I am slowly learning enough to become an informed consumer. I just wanted to thank everyone here for all their posts and the assistance they give to newbies such as myself.
