However, I don't want to have to rely on putting my Trike in the garage every time I tow the trailer.

Does anyone have any real world weights to share? Rear axel weights are not very helpful. Need the actual pin weight.

I currently have a GMC 3500 HD DRW Denali with a payload capacity of 5,296. However, about 800 pounds of that is eaten up with a 60 gallon fuel tank, passenger, etc.

No doubt that the truck will haul the trailer with ease. The concern is with the vertical load on the truck.

Thanks for your input.

First rule of online RVing with a fifthwheel. Never as a weight question.
