[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 224866, member: 642"] I have mentioned this before in a thread that far too many pickups pulling 5th wheel campers are overloaded. So many are being pulled by 1/2 ton pickups and they can pull them but when something goes wrong your butt will be sued big time. Far too many are pulling way too fast also. Can you pull at 70-75-80? Yes i suppose you can, should you pull at that speed, no way. When things go south and you need to stop the speed and weight will push you like a bob sled. If you have RV'd in the past and like it, go ahead and get a bigger or another pickup that will handle the loads. If you haven't RV'd in the past, buy or rent one first and try it to be sure you WILL like it and want to do it. Seen many people buy them and then not use them (like hot tubs) and then want to sell them or they pay storage for them to sit. Also many buy campers that are way too small. Being just you and your bride hopefully that size will work but it any doubt buy bigger than you think you may need. Just like an enclosed trailer. You always need storage too don't forget that. Good luck and not an easy decision to make! [/QUOTE]
