New TV and New TT

We bought our TV in August and our TT 3 weeks ago.
2016 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7
2016 29RKS
First trip was to Zion last week.
Our plan is to be full timers within 5 years.

Congrats....

IMO way too much TT for that TV.

I'm stressing with a 26BH,,,don't think I'd sleep pulling yours.

10800# RATED and I work at a dealer and I ordered it properly equipped to handle it.
Also have Lifetime Factory Warranty.
Our trip pulling 8 to 9% grades no issues and I watched my temps closely.

Not to be a doubter, but I share Jay Dreamers opinion. However, as you state, you ordered the truck properly equipped, so it will probably never be an issue. Yet, one aspect dealerships don't take into effect is the raw physics of size to axle and weight ratio of the TV. The all the weight number can be under the limits but when you consider the physics of size and the two fulcrum issues at the hitch and the axle; you can still find yourself in a dangerous situation.

Wow, they both look great! Congrats on the new pair! That floorplan looks like it would be nice and roomy too. Perfect for when you go full timing. Enjoy!
