My Mobile Suites has a pin weight of 4400#. That is rather much for 2 E rated tires.
My 36 MS has 4,500# pin wt. 4,400# are on the rear axle. My rear axle weight is 8,280# a nice load on 4 tires but two????? I see one guy here with the same rv as mine that his name starts with a R and ends with a U that thinks his red GM single rear wheel is perfectly safe.
Big rv, get a Dually and keep your family safe and others!
Thanks for the reply..
I'm struggling here.. so to help me I went to Holman Motors website and was looking at 5th wheels and sorted by weight with heaviest first.

To help a complete dummy like me get a perspective can someone tell me which 5'ers I would NOT be able to pull with a 3500 SRW... again sorting from the heaviest down?
Thanks for the help!
My opinion is stay away from anything over 34'. It is not just the weight it is ths size. Hold up a small pc of plywood to the wind then hold up a larger pc that is thinner but is the same wt as the smaller pc. You will get the idea.
