3500 truck towing HT 5th wheel - Workable?
We have a GMC 3500 and am wondering if there are any issues with towing a HT type 5th wheel trailer. We had a 35ft Montana that we sold and want to get a 30 to 32 ft 5th wheel, but most with the floor plans we like are HT 5th wheels with a pin weight of approximately 1300 lbs and dry weight of 8,000 to 9,000 lbs. Appreciate your thoughts whether there are issues with towing with this type of configuration. Thank you DPAM3.3KViews0likes20CommentsRecommendations for 30 -32 ft 5th wheel
We want to buy a 30 or 32 ft 5th wheel trailer with at least 2 slide outs. We are concerned with the quality of new trailers, so are willing to buy a used 5th wheel trailer that is considered a quality build. After 9 years we sold our 2010 Montana with the hope of buying another trailer that is smaller in length. Greatly appreciate any suggestions Rvers on this forum can suggest. Thank you.701Views0likes2CommentsRecommendations for 30 -32 ft 5th wheel

Heading to Yuma end of October. My Calgary dentist told me I require the replacement of 5 crowns. Greatly appreciate your referral of a dentist that replaced existing crowns with new ones. If possible please advise me your dentist in Algadones that provided you excellent and satisfactory dental work. If possible provide me with: Dentist’s clinic name, phone number or email Dentist’s name Your cost for new crowns. Greatly appreciate your input. Thank you David1.7KViews0likes7CommentsRe: LT tire outside and inside edges wearing
N-Trouble, Big Buford and Jaycocamprs: Thank you for submitting your feedback to my post, because the 3 of you confirmed that your Bridgestone Duravis tires look the same as mine, so now I feel better about the tire wear that I see on my tires. Next year I’m going to replace them with either the same tire or sailun ones, which I need to research a bit more. I would have posted pictures of my tires, but I don’t know how to do that.

fj12ryder wrote: It certainly sounds like low air pressure, but you said you have them set at max sidewall pressure. Are they all wearing the same? Yes all four tires have the same outside and inside edges worn almost the same amount. The edges are worn at slight angle, which lead me to thinking the sidewalks are not as ridge as ST tires and it may have happened while making normal and tight turns. The rest of the treads on the tires have extremely even wear.517Views0likes0CommentsRe: LT tire outside and inside edges wearing
To reply to some of the feedback statements. I am responding with the following: I always put 80lbs air pressure in the tires, which is was is required by the 16 inch tires. This spring I had the MorRyde rubber blocks (springs) replaced with new ones and the repair shop told me the suspension is weak and requires replacement, so I also have a brand new suspension. A neighbour has the same LT tires on his 5th wheel and he told me his LT tires are doing the same thing. The strange thing is that when I bought the tires in 2015 and had them installed I pulled the trailer home approximately 15 miles and when I got home I noticed that the LT tire edges showed some wear.437Views0likes0CommentsLT tire outside and inside edges wearing
Currently have Bridgestone Duravis LT tires on our 5th wheel. The tires are 3 years old and they are the best tires that I’ve had on the trailer. The tires have a lot of tread left, but the outside and inside edges are wearing, but the rest of the tires have very little wear. I assume that LT tires do not have as rigid side walls as ST trailer tires, therefore I assume the tire edges wear. I’m trying to determine if I have a axel alignment issue or are the LT edges wearing from regular and sharp turning while parking the trailer. Do other LT tire users have the same tire edge wear. Appreciate your feedback. Regards, DPAM5.4KViews0likes41Comments
