I visit this show yearly. I hate that it's hard to find anything, but enjoy looking at the campers nonetheless.
Lot of 5th wheels there this year, seemed quite a bit more than previous years. Walked by the General RV section and all their 5th wheels had pictures of half ton trucks with "your truck can tow this" wording, followed by the dry weights of the campers. 7500, 8000, 8500lbs :E
I can only imagine what the pin weight of a 31' 5th wheel ready to camp is. Scary advertising out there.
Not a problem, if the hitch weight( pin weight) is reasonable, but the 3 litre Diesel below going nowhere if it is too heavy.

Again a 3 litre Diesel but hitch weight vastly greater.
