Hey guys! I think I'd like to check out the market for used one-ton trucks. At this point, I do care too much if it's a F350, Chevy/GMC 3500, or Ram 3500. If you know where or how I can get info, please let me know. I'm located in CA, but I'd probably leave the state if I found the truck and...

I could take out the stove, too. She's gonna wanna cook outside anyway. If hotel rooms didn't come with a TV, she'd be ecstatic. I really think that my wife perceives the RV to be a hotel room on wheels. We will get to travel the country and share its beauty with our three girls.

My wife is planning on removing the TVs. :p

She wants the Heartland Sundance 3400 5th wheel. It's GVWR is 14000 lbs. It's dry weight (I know - doesn't mean a whole lot) is around 10500 lbs. We are eyeing a 3500 SRW S/B. She is wary of the longer/wider vehicle.

It's all 3.73 for the DuraMax/Allison combo in all GM HD trucks. Payload is the kicker. There is a 1500# difference between the 2500 and 3500.

Point taken. Thanks!

The rig my wife wants maxes at 14000#, so I'm pretty confident in the 17100 trailer towing capacity in the GM product line. Since both the 2500 and 3500 spec out the same for towing limits, is there a clear advantage for buying one over the other? There is a chance that the truck will be a daily...

I am in the same predicament you are in, so I will share what I have learned. First, payload needs to included in the conversation because your pin weight comes out of our your payload allowance. To determine the exact payload of the truck in question, you need to look at the label that is...

I will absolutely tell you and post pics! Right now, I'm scheduling test drives of the Ford F-350 SRW and DRW, the Ram 3500 Laramie DRW with the Cummins/Aisin combo, and the GM 3500 HD DRW (Chevy and GMC). I test drove a Chevy 3500 HD LTZ DRW, but it had the bench seat in the front (I want...

Thank you all for the advice! I was originally talked out of going with a one-ton, so it won't be hard to go back to that way of thinking since your advice was unanimous.

Thank you for the advice! We fell in love with the Sundance 3400 at a GiantRV dealership, but they were really pushing the rig on the lot. It had options we don't want and didn't have options we do want. Thanks to this forum now I have an idea of how to approach them to get my dream RV just the...

My wife and I are smitten with the Sundance 3400, but we are wary of the buying/negotiating experience. The dealer we visited was insistent about selling the one on the lot before taking an order for what we wanted. To be honest, we probably don't really know what we want although we have some...

Re: Sundance MSRP - Updated 1-Feb-2014 Awesome! Thank you!!!

Re: Sundance MSRP - Updated 1-Feb-2014 Jim, Can you post the order sheets for 2015?

Thanks everyone! There's some really good information here for me to consider. Since this will be my first tow vehicle, I certainly don't want to make a mistake. Will somebody help me understand how I migh "go overweight" if the GVWR of the Sundance is 13800# and the truck is rated to pull...

My wife and I really want to be the parents who expose our kids to the outdoors and nurture a love for nature. We recently decided that the best way to do this was to purchase a truck and fifth wheel. We started by shopping for the trailer that would best suit our family and chose a Sundance...
