Hey All,
I just found y'alls website yesterday and have enjoyed reading various posts.
I am currently looking into buying my first RV trailer, I?ve never pulled a trailer, I guess I?m about as green as one gets. Hence I?m full of dumb questions?lol
The current plan is to get a Chevy Silverado 4 door crew cab 2500 Diesel and a 5th wheel, 26 ? 32 feet, still looking at the various trailer layouts that are out there. I?m open to any suggestions regarding Brands or any options that really are not options. I plan to buy used, 2000 or newer.
I?ve been told by a SALESMAN that I need to have the extended bed in order to be able to properly pull and turn with a 5th wheel. Is this true? I have my doubts, but don?t know.
My primary purpose for the RV is to Camp at the Texas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR races, after that I expect to use it for short trips to local fishing areas, Gulf Coast fishing and maybe a few state parks. And most likely a few races around the country now and then.
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don?t intend to replace it for many years and hope to get lots of good use out of it.
Thanks,
Eddie
