My trailer is a Security W26SLQRK with a 10 inch King Pin extension. The hitch is a Curt A16 Slider. When loaded to go, my truck axle weights are just about at max. I have been towing this trailer for a couple of years now through the Canadian Rockies and the windy prairies. I've had a few pull behinds over the past 20 years and this setup is by far the best I've ever had. I have also never used the slider. I have E rated tires, 3.73 gears, 6 speed trany and 5.4 l engine.Re: Winnebago 27reok Fresh water drains out.I also loose water from my trailer. I discovered it was coming out the 2 vents on the top. My tank is between the axles and is only about 4-5 inches deep. The vents are on the passenger side. I usually fill up at home and buy the time I get to the campsite maybe a quarter of the water would have drained out. So I ran 2 lines to a convenient spot with shut of valves. Closed when traveling and open when filling. Rick P.Re: F150 4x4The newer F150's with the HD payload only have 6 studs. My brother has one and tows a 2016 puma 5th wheel. I think its around 27'. His truck has 2450 payload and he has a few hundred pounds to spare on his rear axle when loaded up. Tows no problem with the 2nd generation 3.5 ecoboost.Re: F150 asa TV for 5th wheelWhat if you were to tow a 11000 lb trailer with a (i think it called a toad) with zero hitch weight. Is that posible.Re: Min. distanceIf I have to I will see about raising the trailer. The axles are already on top of the springs. My dad has had no issues with his 2001 7700 F150.Re: Min. distanceMy plan is to buy my dad's 2002 Security W26SLQRK which is in mint condition. I'm going to use a Reese Sidewinder in my 5 1/2' box. It has a 900lb dry pin weight and I have 1500 lbs of available payload before my rear axle is maxed out.Re: Min. distanceThanksMin. distanceIs there a recommended minimum distance between the top of truck box and the bottom of the over hang of the trailer.Re: Moving fresh water tank to the rearCan-Am RV Center sets up a lot of smaller vehicles to tow RV's. Here is the web site http://www.canamrv.ca/ Maybe you can get some ideas on what to modify on your tow vehicle to make it work.
