We originally started out looking at fifth wheels, but quickly learned we can't pull one and need to stick with a TT... prefer something under 30ft.

Here's the original thread...

https://www.5thwheelforums.com/forum...ead.php?t=4249

I know this is a forum for fifth wheels, so I have not pressed it any further here.

2020 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab 5.7' box 5.7L Hemi with eTorque and 3.92 rear gear ratio. Payload is 1612.

1612lbs Payload less...
-400 - my wife and I
-100 - tool box with a few tools (I can pick it up easily)
-200 - other stuff in the truck (sub box, running boards, etc)
-60 - fuel tank swap from 23 to 33 (10 gallons x 6lbs per gallon)
852lbs - remaining

We will travel dry (no water)... but we'll obviously have clothes, linen, a couple of lounge chairs, hoses, cables, a few dishes, and some food. We'll add a Dishmate for our Dish satellite. We are not like some folks when we go on vacation, we always travel relatively light.
