This had somewhat traditional aluminum folding steps that have served we RVers very well for many years. In fact, the things I saw on my friend’s fifth wheel really made me happy.

There are a number of things I saw in this model that appear to be upgrades from previous generations of this trailer. That leaves just 531 pounds of capacity for everything, including Peggy and I.Īnd this is before you add the first thing, like a house battery, to the fifth wheel. Our half-ton Ram 1500 has a cargo carrying capacity of roughly 1800 pounds. The manufacturer of this trailer rates the hitch weight at 1,269 pounds. With any trailer purchase, know the capabilities of the tow vehicle including cargo carrying. I wish all RV makers would just quit claiming that their fifth wheels are half ton towable.įurther, know that not all half ton trucks are alike. With anything this large, you really do want as much control as possible and I don’t feel that a half-ton truck offers that. While you might find that the weight of this trailer, including the pin weight, may be within the specifications of a half-ton truck these things have such large surface areas that you could experience control issues in windy conditions. Honestly, the only fifth wheel I’d consider towing with a half-ton pickup is something like the Scamp 19 that we reviewed a while back.Ĭheck out our towing guide to help make a towing decision.

Like several RV manufacturers, Grand Design is marketing this unit specifically to owners of half-ton pickups. I got to go see it yesterday and thought I’d share my thoughts with all of you. In some ways this review is different in that friends of mine bought this after we talked about various RVs that they were considering.
