Manual says every 250 hours which is about what is on it. I bought the coach used about a year ago so I don't know if it's ever been changed. I'm gonna change it.Generator MaintenanceHow often should I change the oil in my Onan generator?Re: What's the comfortable weight limitThanks for the advise. I will weigh the truck with a full tank of fuel. Sounds like I'll either stay with the lighter FW or trade for a 1 ton.Re: What's the comfortable weight limitThe Dry hitch weight is 2020 lbs. What do you add other than passengers and cargo in the truck to get the total payload. My GAWR is 6200 rear and 5500 front.What's the comfortable weight limitI have a 2013 Ram 2500 with 6.7 Cummins Diesel. The GVWR is 10,000 lbs. Payload is 2580 lbs. The GCWR is 25,000 lbs/ Max trailer weight is rated at 17,410 lbs. I am currently pulling a 35' fifth wheel with a UVW of 9070 lbs. and GVWR of 11,700 lbs. My truck pulls this rig like a dream. I am considering a bigger 5th wheel with UVW of 13,000 lbs. and GVWR of 15,500. The book says I should be fine but I'd like some input from someone who has more towing experience. Don't want to buy a bigger trailer and not be comfortable towing it with my Ram. We've only owned the fifth wheel for about a year. We mainly do extended weekends and an occasional 1 week trip. We will likely only camp in full hookup campgrounds so will unlikely approach the GVWR of our trailer. I look forward to hearing from you experienced RVers.
