Any Reason Why This Won't Work? F350 & Wolf Creek 840

I think it can be done... my best advice: look very closer at tire load indexes and wheel weight ratings... I think those could be the weakest link.

I'd say as long as you don't go overboard with tongue weight and overall GCVWR you will be okay. I tow a single Polaris 870 Touring in a single axle trailer with an 18 inch hitch extension and it actually drives smoother than alone, especially in high winds. My 840 weighs in at around 3200 lbs with a typical option package and two batteries. Empty tanks make for an easier trip but a full water tank is still doable. The 840 is a great camper. The weakest link in the weight ratings is wheels, not tires. Mine are about 3500 lbs apiece for a rear max of 7000, so having a long bed helps distribute the weight better, but I would not be surprised if the short bed handled well also. I employ Torklift suspension aids for a better handling load, no need for airbags.

Oh No we're all gonna die....LOL

Thanks everyone. This is exactly what I was looking for.

This is my exact setup on a 2009 F350 and have zero issues.

I have a 14'single axle trailer that I tow a 2013 rzr 4 900 with. I did have to buy an 18" hitch extension and longer chains for it to work with my trailer.

I'm doing it with a Chevy version of your truck with a 2017 840. My DRY weight is 3300 lbs as I have all but a few of the options. My boat has a 350 lb tongue. Note I've moved my 90lb spare to front of truck. With boat and loaded to head out for months I am very close to the 7050 limit of the Michelin LTX's but not over. Without boat no problem. You should be fine.

After much thought and consternation, a few rounded off numbers, and a little time with a calculator, I came up with:

Wolf Creek 840 dry weight is 1990 lbs. Add 35 gallons fresh water (290 lbs), plus 6 gallons in hot water heater (50 lbs), plus two 20 lb full propane tanks (40 lbs), plus 2 batteries (130 lbs), + camping gear (400 lbs) = 2,900 lbs wet weight.

Trailer tongue weight is whatever I want it to be, depending on where I load what I am putting on it. For the load in the picture I could set tongue weight at 400 lbs, which is 10% of the total.

Your numbers are close, the 840 will weigh a little more than you think. I have a WC850, loaded weight is 3,200lbs, and if I'm not mistaken the 840 is slightly heavier. You should have no problem with your current rig.

Add the people as well. I think you'll find it weighs more than 1990 dry. It's just a question if you mind being over GVWR or not.

You have a higher payload than me so must be a gasser.

Is it doable? Yes. In fact, I'd say you'd be under your GVW whereas I'm over but happy with my setup.
