Just looked it up, looks like a good option.

We do not need to keep the gooseneck hitch however I'd rather not have to drill more holes. I'd rather just use what we already have and use an adapter. We are looking at 2011 and newer 5th wheels only. Not sure if this is classified as "newer fivers". Thank you

We have a 2011 chevy silverado 3500 6.5 foot truck bed. We are currently looking for a hitch for our 5th wheel. Our truck has a built in gooseneck ball. Based on research it looks like these are not a good option...

We have been to 2 RV shows and I think we have zeroed in on what we are looking for in a 5th wheel. We like ones that have a king bed in front ideally with washer/dryer capability. Full size shower. Then we like the ones with middle area kitchen with center island and then the back living room...

We need 2 cars. We will be traveling for work every 3 months to new city and need to commute to and from work. We will both need a car for this. The 2nd car is for my wife to get to and from her site and the truck is for me as we will almost always be at different hospitals/clinics.

Correct. The sedan will be driving. Not being towed. Sorry if that was worded poorly.

It says the payload on the truck inside my drivers door is 3940 pounds. (2011 silverado 3500 crew cab SRW diesel) Then subtracting me at 165# and hitch of ~150? I think. + odds and ends would likely bring us to 3500 pounds. (we will also have a small sedan following the 5th wheel and truck so we...

A while ago I posted about finding a truck to tow a 5th wheel. I am happy to report we bought a Silverado 3500 Diesel SRW. We now need to find a 5th wheel. We will be traveling the whole U.S. and I need to know what is the biggest I can go and still be able to fit into most camp sites/RV parks...

Hello, I am looking at a 5th wheel out of state and am wondering about the typical cost for a 5th wheel inspection for a 12000 pound 36 foot fifth wheel. It is located in Wisconsin if that helps. Thank you!

Would this truck be able to pull it: 2014 Chevrolet 3500HD LT 4WD Engine  6.0l V8 OHV 16V FFV I believe it is a crew cab. Is not dual tires in the back. We will be traveling with the 5th wheel 4x/year approximately 200-400 miles at at a time. Something like this truck...

Would a Chevy 3500 work truck be able to pull a gross vehicle weight of 10,400 pound fifth wheel?  Also what is an okay amount of miles to have on the truck. We plan to own for both for approximately 5years? I am currently thinking of buying truck around 100,000 miles and selling around 155-160k.

Okay thank you. Sorry to be all over the place in this discussion, but just trying to consider all options available. Any thoughts on getting a 3500 work truck vs a standard 3500?

What is the general time frame for someone to move a camper? Would 2 weeks notice be enough time for someone to move a fifth wheel for me? Could I expect to have it moved in 1-2 days 3-400 miles?

Okay so it sounds like my best option is to get a bigger truck or a trailer. We are leaning against a trailer due to it having lower ceilings.

Thank you all so much for the help so far. I also should add that we will need fifth wheel for approximately 3 to 5 years and then plan to sell to another person likely. Would a 2500 diesel work for that if we had a lightweight one a couple years old? Also following up, does anyone know about...
