New member with a couple of questions

[Crambo]

Hello all. I just signed up on the forums and have a couple of quick questions. I've had three travel trailers and a fifth wheel over the years but ive been out of it for a while. My wife and I are looking to get back into camping and I've got my search narrowed down to a couple of units that I would like to get some feedback on. I've looked at a Wildwood 28DBUD that the dealer was willing to go down to 18,300 without the wd hitch. I also looked at a couple of Cherokee grey wolf units that were equipped close to the wildwood but were a couple of grand higher. I'm going tomorrow to look at a 2015 Salem Cruise Lite 262BH that the dealer has priced at 17,995 with a wd hitch included. He also straight up told me that he had several 2015 models and he needed them gone so he had a little more wiggle room. The grey wolf units seemed to be s little nicer looking than the wildwood but I liked them all. What are everyone's thoughts on the ones I'm considering? I've got a 2015 Ram 2500 Cummins so weight isn't really a concern. Is a weight distributing hitch even needed with these setups? I've got s Curt dual ball adjustable hitch already that is rated to 14000 pounds and 1400 tongue weight. Sorry for the long post. Maybe I had more than a couple of questions.

I will look into the hitch. I would be willing to go used but I'm a little afraid because you never know what people have done to them. I'm gonna look at some used units though just to see what's there

Just pulling, with your truck, you probably won't notice a difference......until you get passed by a big tractor trailer and it pulls the camper along with it. Yes, I would get a WD hitch with sway control, even with that stout of a truck.

If we were just getting back into the RV'ing world, I would go with a nice 3-4 year old used unit. Depreciation is awful on a new one and I would let somebody else take the hit and also get all the bugs worked out of a new one.

Just my opinion, I would certainly go with the WD hitch and sway control. My trailer weighs in at 7000 lbs. loaded and pulls much better with WD hitch and sway control. I have the hitch in my signature.
