Looking at getting a 41' Sandpiper 5th wheel. Dry weight is 10995 and GVWR is 14200. Dry hitch weight is 2250lbs, so I am guessing that in reality the hitch weight is prob. 2500-2600lbs and the trailer weight is 12,500-13,500. Whaddya all think about towing with my current set-up. It isn't so much the weight of the trailer as the hitch weight on the SRW that I am concerned about.

I tow a simular set up every weekend, your truck with air bags will tow this all day long its stopping them can be scary,have you ever towed a 5er this size before, you need to use your head out there, also keep in mind how much stuff your going to load in the trailer. My pin weight is at max and I gross at 21,500lbs its a SRW and its alot of trailer, But I drive trucks everyday at 80,000lbs so I know my limits when towing my set-up. a lot will tell you this too much trailer its depends whose towing it.
