Weight distribution hitch
Hi all I am thinking on putting my 5th wheel on a permanent summer site and getting a small TT to still be able to travel some. I’m thinking on a 18-21 foot rig. I will tow it with my 3/4tn Ram diesel. Do I want/need a weight distribution hitch? Also other than the gross wt advantage do I want single or double axel? Thanks for any information as I have only towed a 5th wheel Kohana2.4KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Fifth Wheel "airbag" kingpins
Trailersaver BD3 is the hitch you may be thinking about.Twin airbags give the hitch about 2in of travel both up and down. Combined with the Moreryde pinbox(fore and aft movement) both bucking and chucking are reduced alot. Pricey but after 6yrs using this combo with Blisten shocks and truck airbags, well worth it IMHO.355Views0likes0CommentsAt what pressure do you run your Sailun tires?
I'm replacing my E rated Michelin Ribs with Sailun 235/85/16G tires. The scaled weight on my trailer wheels is just under 11200lb, about 2800lb/tire avg. My rims are G rated. I run the E tires @ 80lb but 110lb for the Gs seems way too much. I'm thinking about 90lb, less on a cold morning (won't chase the pressure as I do now). BTY the Michelins have been great for 6 yrs. but cost is over twice as much and they are close to their weight limits. I would like to know what others are doing.8.5KViews0likes27Comments
