Free exercise!!
Lets assume I pick out a 5th wheel first and then start shopping for a truck.
Obviously, I need to look at the truck's towing capacity. But how do you figure for load capacity? In other words - some percentage of the weight of the trailer has to be assumed to be "in" the bed of the truck. Is there a rule of thumb for this? Or is it something specific that the trailer manufacturer sets out?
And where do I get the hitch: the truck vendor, the trailer vendor, or a third party?

You do not back a toad, you stop drop and then back the MH in.
