Numbers, numbers, numbers....

I have the same exact truck and looking at the same model Eagle. I am too hesitant on the weight which is which I’m leaning towards the 29.5BHOK.

Want to send a thank you to everyone who contributes in these posts. I spent countless hours looking at types of TVs, weight / payload ratings, hitches, space between trailer and truck bed, CAT scale tickets and general conversation on how to safely tow big fifth wheels – and I learned a great deal.
Thought I would share my results for others –

Tow Vehicle – 2017 Ram 3500, dually, diesel, crew cab, long bed, 4x4 – factory Mopar 25K hitch
Trailer – 2016 Northpoint 377RLBH – no generator – GVWR = 16,500

TV – Factory sticker info
• GAWR / Front – 6000 lbs
• GAWR / Rear – 9750 Lbs
• GVWR – 14,000 Lbs
• Max cargo – 5477 Lbs

TV – Cat Scale Ticket – full fuel tank, me, DW and some stuff we keep in the cab when traveling
• Steer Axle – 5180 Lbs
• Drive Axle – 3900 Lbs
• Total Axle – 9080 lbs

Truck measurements
• Top of bed height / Empty = 60 Inches
• Front bumper height / Empty = 33 Inches

TV / Trailer – Cat Scale Ticket
• Steer Axle – 5300 Lbs
• Drive Axle – 7520 Lbs
• Trailer Axle – 11,820 Lbs
• Gross Weight – 24,640 Lbs

Truck measurements
• Top of bed height / with trailer = 54 Inches
• Front bumper height / with trailer = 33 Inches


Based on my calculations, I come up with the following:
• Actual Pin Weight / 7520 – 3900 = 3620 Lbs
• % on pin: 3620 / 15440 * 100 = 23.4 %
• Total Trailer Weight / 3620 + 11,820 = 15,440 Lbs
• Weight under trailer GVWR / 16,500 – 15,440 = 1060 Lbs

Steve that is a sweet setup you have. I wish you all the best and hope you have great luck with your Cummins. I love mine.

Well, I think you guys have an the answers you need. Now just have to decide on which trailer.

Hope to see you at a campsite sometime. Look for another HT and a red Dodge [FWIW, I have seen three HT's and red Dodges in the past 6 months ]
