Hello all, I am very interested in finding a bunkhouse fifth wheel. I have researched hours of time trying to find the perfect one. I am frustrated b/c when visiting a dealer, all they will tell you is what you want to hear, so that they can make a sale. I am looking for some opinions of veteran fifth wheel owners out there that can tell me what kind of camper I can tow (safely). I am looking at the new Silverado 365qbs or the 36TB. Does anyone know the weight specs on this unit yet. Not posted on website, so I thought I would try here.
Anyway, I have a 2011, Ford F-250 6.7 L Diesel crew cab pickup 4X4. The ford website references a total towing weight of 14,400 lbs. based on a fifth wheel configuration. I am not trying to tow the limit, besides, you have to be able to safely stop what you are towing. I would like to know, if anyone has the same truck or setup, what can this truck pull without compromising safety issues and spending additional money on extra leaf springs etc. I have looked at the ultralite fifth wheels, and they are nice, but you give up alot of quality for the less weight. Any help or opinions would be appreciated.
