The short answer is.....maybe. As mentioned earlier, there are beefier half tons that can handle smaller fifth wheels. I pull a 2018 Eagle HT RLTS that’s about 32’ long with a diesel Titan XD and I...

It always amuses me when someone mentions stopping. They all have their own brakes so it’s not stopping that’s the issue. It’s not even pulling that’s a concern, but having enough weight to actually...

Nah, been there don’t that. It’s no hotter than GA SC or even NY in the summer. 95° with 100% humidity is the same everywhere. The one ac does just fine. If 15k BTU won’t cool your coach, somethings...

They screwed something up big time. If you hit the brake controller and had NO brakes, that’s NOT a burnishing issue. You’d need to have braking to burnish brakes!!! No brakes at all is definitely...

The Eagle HT has a frame mounted hitch with a 3000 lb capacity. It’ll handle bikes without issue. It’s meant to tow small trailers. It’s not a flimsy bumper mount.

Any really. I used Reese before getting a 5th wheel but any good name brand will do. Be sure to also use some sort of sway control device as well. Some hitches have it built in. Enjoy your new home...

Make sure your main bolt in top of the Andersen is properly torqued to 60 ft lbs and the two lock nuts to 50 ft lbs. then check the torque on the 4 kingpin bolts. I bet somethings not fully tightened...

You can’t change a trucks capacity with airbags. If you plan on retiring with a big 5er, get a truck to match the coach. Airbags just help with the sag on trucks still hauling their listed capacities.

Not that you’re looking to replace your hitch but if it really bothers you, try the Andersen Ultimate hitch. Completely eliminates chucking.

Porpoising is not normal if set up correctly. Either the WD bars are not dialed in right, the truck is overloaded, you’re using the wrong size ball, or any combo.
