Hi, I know this has been covered just once or twice!! but this Brit needs some clarification. We are looking at buying a fifth wheel for long term touring in the States and Canada. The GVWR of our intended unit is 12720 lb. I have seen several times that you should reckon on around 20% being on the pin, so about 2544lb. we are thinking about a Dodge Ram 3500 and it seems that the max towing weight is around 11200lb. does this mean for a travel trailer, or because part of the weight is on the box, it will be safe, legal and practical for our intended fifth wheel? I do not to go for a dually if i can help it.
regards
Tony
