I hope it stays that way.Re: Trailer Brakes Disconnected messageSorry was away for a bit. We did get things sorted out eventually. We tested things one more time on the trailer and found no faults. I ended up taking the truck back to the dealer a second time and they went through the wire harness with dielectric grease on all the connections but said they found no issues. Well, I ended up going back to the storage facility where I keep the trailer and was set on making a day out of it trouble shooting what I could on my own but when I connected it up everything worked as it should. My guess is something was not quite connected on the truck and the dealer fixed it and didn’t know it or just dumb luck. Either way I have tested it several times afterwards and seems fine now.Re: Towing long 5th wheelsGotchaRe: Towing long 5th wheelsFor reference it's a 2007 Cedar Creek 362 BTS. 1862 hitch, 11810 unloaded, 13860 gvwr. My TV is a 05' chevy 2500hd, LLY ext cab. I'm roughly 6900 with myself unloaded.Towing long 5th wheelsIt's been a few years since selling our Alpenlite and we are getting the itch again. We have been looking at units with bunks but most are too pin heavy to consider for my TV, I did find one (Cedar Creek 362BTS) that comes under ok, a bit over 1800 for the pin, however it's listed at 38 ft. Never towed anything that large and remember seeing a recommendation against it, but it's not in my manual that can find anyways. Just wondering if I should keep searching for a smaller unit, but seems like everything is coming up 32-38ft for decent bunk units. We don't typically tow far...8 hrs to beach once a year and the rest local within the state (WV). Thanks!
