The block removes in about 3 mins, sure more work but doable.

yes there is a block that hooks to the kingpin, It has a slide release that locks the adapter block to the ball at the top of the anderson hitch. As for the longbed... Wish i had one. We bought this truck new off of the dealer lot for a steal, It was priced so low that I took the shortbed just to get the Diesel option. If i could just buy the truck I really wanted I would go longbed SRW 3500 Diesel. This one was on the lot for 13 months so I was able to get it almost 20k lower then sticker... Traded in an 11 month old 1500 hemi on it, even with the massive hit on the trade I still

With the Anderson the chains are up for debate. We added them to the setup but dont hook them up. Should we get stopped and they demand them then they are available. I dont see a need for them, the hitch is not going to slide out of the attached position on its own, There is no "forgetting to latch it and it drops" problem like the standard hitches have. There is a lock but you have to lift the unit off of the hitch to disconnect so i doubt it could ever really come loose... We can go almost 90 on flat ground, if the trailer were tilted or the truck in a pot hole we COULD hit the back of the

We just recently upgraded from a 29' TT bunk to a 40' 5th bunk. There are pros and cons to the change, Pros: We have opposing kitchen and recliner slides so this thing is HUGE, We like the ability to retreat into the unit and feel like we have enough space to really relax. The bigger unit gave us the option of the 4 door fridge, with 2 growing boys this will be great to have The interior height, this above all else leads to the larger feel. the auto level system (yes you can get them on TT, just not as common) Towing, it pulls like a champ with out 2500 diesel... Yes i know we are absolute

I am going to dedicate myself to talking you guys into a 41' rig that way you cannot pick on me anymore!!! Thanks Santa, booked at Sherwood

We are finally getting to camp at FW this weekend for Halloween, (Thanks for finding us a spot Nacole) Reservations starting Saturday. We want to drive in Friday night and Boondock or RV park as close to the park as possible that way we can visit for breakfast before check in on saturday. Does anyone have any recommendations on a place to stay? We are headed in from the North down 75. We are hopeful that a spot opens up for friday in the park but just in case we need a backup. Thanks

We keep the camper kitchen fully equipped and still manage to forget things. I think the added hassle of trying to remember kitchen cooking stuff is not worth it. We however don't have mixing bowls (yet) most my pancakes are mixed in a tupperware container. As far a s the Weber, its a must LOL. The smaller Q series tend to go on clearance at the end of the season at target and lowes. Happy Trails.

But then you get the back and forth chucking..... Our TT actually towed pretty well on the 2500 without the WD hitch all together.

Maybe you need to look at a bigger truck?

Party! we are on site 400 for now, hope to find a site with a full hookup that we can swap too but for now we took whatever we would find.

Congrats on the new 5th wheel. We just moved up from a 29 tt to a 40' fifth... Cannot really offer any advise but it is quite a joy to pull. Kinda feel like king of the road although none of the other royal road subjects seem to respect my "authority" and get out of our way. Happy trails.

Looking good, I still am jealous of the cubby yall have for shoes...

We just bought a 2015 Montana, Towing with a Dodge 2500 4x4.... Dry trailer weight is 11k, hitch weight is 2k. Truck pulls just fine on the flats, feel it in the hilly areas but gets along well enough, Drops maybe 2" when hitched. Mine is not a toy hauler so we assume pin weight to be 18 - 22% of trailer weight. I believe toy haulers have a higher pin weight until you add a toy to balance it out. You would be surprised how fast the 3/4 ton units reach max capacity.

If only....... we called them and apparently they dont want us to come, something about being all booked for the weekend.... Geeze I mean who doesnt save a spot on a holiday weekend at their campground just in case we called at the last minute. On a side note we do have an extra spot at bald ridge marina if anyone wants it, we reserved it but its too short for the new unit, we were lucky enough to grab another longer spot for this weekend. I am going to release it tonight for the masses if no takers. .....

Thanks for all the info, we picked up our new camper over the weekend we successfully hauled it back home!
