I drive in Colorado and several other Western states. After I bought my 40' fifth wheel I traded my shortbed for an 8' bed. The first drive on a winding mountain road confirmed I needed a long bed dually. Is the 14000# the dry weight of that 43 footer? If so, dry weight means little for towing information.

Hi Dave,
Yes, that's the dry weight of the trailer I'm hoping to buy. Are there any other specs I can add that would help? If I can't find them online, I'm sure I could get them from the salesman.
I'm pulling a 33' travel trailer now, and I've never towed a 5th wheel. Can you elaborate a little more on the mechanics of a short bed vs a long bed on those windy roads? Sorry for the simple question - I'm guessing that the long bed would let you take those turns a little sharper, right?
