Need help finding the right 5th wheel weight
I need help yall. Me, my wife and kids are attempting to get into the RV world and in particular looking at 5th wheels. Everyone that I find seems to be way over weight.
Here are some specs and maybe somebody can help me with possible max hitch weights or 5th wheel weights I need to stay under to be safe.
Truck Curb Weight: 7410
Max Load Weight: 10850
Max Payload: 3200
Tow Capacity: 16000
Figured weight between passengers and gear would be about 600 lbs. Hopefully over estimating.
I have attempted 5th wheels with hitch weights in the 2k range as well as RV's in the 11k-12k weight range and it always is to heavy in the calculator I use. On average tells me GCVWR is 12k over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
