Towing difference between 37 and 42ft FW

[Sinton4616]

DW and I have been trailerless since Hurricane Harvey decided to destroy our TT. We're looking at FW and still discussing (READ: arguing) the floor plans.

Realizing there will be a difference between towing a 34ft TT and a FW, how much of a difference have you noticed between a 37ft and a 42ft FW? Is there much of a difference in handling? Figure GVWR of what we are looking at is between 14-15.5K.


(Not worried about weight. Truck is an F350 DRW with 5,490lbs CC according to the door jam and a 3.55 read end. I've also purchased a 20K B&W Companion hitch after reading review and listening to advice here.)

^^^^^^^What he said.

I would agree that towing won't be any different. Parking is where you'll notice the extra length.

Towing either will not be a big difference. Depending where you camp, five extra feet will be noticeable in tight back-in sites. Also, if one is a foot taller, you will notice the difference, especially coming from a not too tall TT.
