weight

I have a 2005 Chevy 2500 8.1 with an Allison transmission. What I need to know is if I would be able to tow a fifth wheel that has a 14,500 dry weight. The hitch is about 2,800, and over all weight is around 16,500. The new unit is 41.6 feet. Has anyone towed that weight with a 2500. Thanks

Rookie question. Actually not a rookie, but never dealt with motor homes in the past. Considering downsizing from a 5th wheel to a 30' or thereabouts Class A or C. Begun the learning/investigation process... but one piece of information I thought would be a given I simply have not been able to...

Some time ago I had said that the factory dry tongue weight did not include propane tanks and batteries they are dealer installed items. this was incorrect on my part the factory dry tongue weight does include the weight of empty propane tanks, but not the batteries or liquid propane supplied...

Hi Everyone, I've got a Flagstaff 176ED that I tow with either my '91 Jeep Grand Wagoneer or my '98 Jeep Cherokee. Both of those vehicles sag quite badly at the rear when the trailer is hooked up. The Wagoneer sags badly enough that the dolly wheel will sometimes scrape on gradient changes...

I have a 2015 F150 5.0 pulling a 27foot Wildwood. When I open the tailgate it hits the jack. Is there a extension or something that I can use to get the weight distribution hitch further away so I can open the tailgate.

When Rockwood manufacture states tongue weight of rv trailer is 698lbs, do they mean this is what the tongue weighs when the camper is empty, or is it the max tongue weight for a loaded camper?

Hey folks, I have a Cherokee 274 DBH. Does anyone know what the published weight rating is on the top bunk? Much appreciated! For what it’s worth, the bunks look really well made. Seems to be very solid.

Hello, I've been looking a lot at some new TT and maybe a new 2500 to tow it with but I had a question. I have been on a lot of RV sales sites and I was wondering if some of them don't have their weights correctly entered? Has anyone run across this? Maybe I am mistaken...

I have a 2003 Dodge RAM 3500 Cummins 5.9 Automatic. This truck is great when towing my about 13,000# fifth wheel on flat ground. I have no trouble getting up to speed and maintaining the flow of traffic. However, I am unsure what would happen on mountain roads, like I-40 in western NC. There is...

Got a new 2019 f250 super duty to tow trailer. 28ft. And about 8k lbs. The truck has a weight distribution hitch already on it from the tow package with anti sway. Do I need the weight distribution hitch with anti sway bars on the trailer? Used to fifth wheels. Thanks!

Just getting into this RV'ing thing and I am hesitant to get up on the roof to place a cover on my Forest River 25RR. I am not sure if its possible or if there is a weight limit for the roof. Also I have a round dish on the roof as an antenna and concerned that I should place a box or something...

Hello. I recently bought a used PP3 hitch. It came with the low-clearance Straptek weight tensioners intended for use with an Airstream trailer, to prevent interference with the front compartment door. (I don't have an Airstream.) My impression is that the jacks allow you to reposition the...

I’m searching for a good weight distro for my 2018 228BHSE. I see there are factory positions for the distro attachment on the frame. Which hitch fits correctly? My research shows that Curt has long (Curt 17050) and short (Curt 17330) trunnion arms, while Reece’s hitch (Reece Pro Series...

Gosh! First time posting a question - that was hard! Hi. First, let me say I am in LOVE with my Imaginarium (we re-named our 2016 Forester 2501TS to personalize it). I know the GVWR and all the other posted/published weights, but I want to know how much weight my cab-over area can handle (with...
