to buy or not to buy
We are looking at upgrading to a 5th wheel. We currently have a hybrid that we have a lien on. We have gotten two different stories from rv dealers and I am not sure which is the best option. Fyi we do not have the best credit, but do have a good amount of cash for a down payment. So option number one was bring in cash and trade and let the dealer work out the details. Option two was pay off the trailer, wait a month and use the trailer as down payment. Waiting a month would allow our credit to rise a little with a loan paid in full. I am open to all useful opinions.2.4KViews0likes8Commentsopinions (i know this is dangerous :))
We are looking to upgrade to a fifth wheel. We currently have a hybrid travel trailer and have been camping for better then a decade. Last year we bought a Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins diesel. It should tow 17800. I have never towed a 5th wheel and am curious how others feel about towing them. First we are looking at models between 35 and 40 ft. Is there much of a difference between the sizes for towing? People with 40 ft models, do you have any trouble finding sites? How about maneuvering? I am reasonably competent at towing and driving. Lol My other concern is about weight. What is a good max weight for a trailer that can be towed without stressing out the truck. I was thinking no more then 15000, but don't really have any idea. Thanks for any help Bob8.1KViews0likes30Comments
