Howdy All, Since we started narrowing down the field and really focused on a Bighorn, I have been spying on this forum for a few weeks now and just wanted to say how great it is. Tons of info and everyone seems to try and help one another with issues.
Well, we pulled the trigger and picked up our new 5th wheel this last weekend and boy was I surprised at how well it pulled. Our old 2003 Komfort 24ft'er bucked a lot more than this one, but I guess it's because this one is quite a bit heavier, and seems to be one solid unit along with the truck. I was sweating it, but was relieved after I got going. The corners are definetly a lot trickier to judge, but I'll get that down. The wife and I are looking forward to getting it out and spending a weekend or more in it. We'll plan on joining as members when we get a minute or two.
It was funny because I have some scales not far from the house and I thought I'd weigh it. So I pull up where I thought the rear tires would be on the scales, got out to see if the wheels were on there and holy cow, they were still 10 feet father back. I got back in, pulled it up some more, thinking I was on the scales and got out and was still 3 feet short. This sucker is LONG!!
