Traveling with Baby and Travel Trailer

[watercat]

Let me see if I got this straight. you have now a smaller trailer that has a gvw of 7000lbs am I reading that right? If I am then I like those numbers.

Yes. I haven't bought neither of both yet. I'm trying to find the right combination. Thanks for your feedback..... Very well appreciated ?

While most people are concerned with how much weight they can PULL, they forget about how much weight they will need to STOP.

TJ I have to have this very same conversation every day with business owners that buy the Ram Commercial Chassis and bodies that I sell . They want to buy a Ram 4500/5500 with a dump body on it to pull their 45' trailer with the track hoe and 10 pallets of sod on it. ? They all say the same thing..........."That Cummins engine will pull ANYTHING!!!". And then I have the conversation about STOPPING the load once it's running 75 MPH down the road. Many of these idiots need a truck with air brakes but don't want to spend the money to buy a Freightliner or International. Lots of people tell me they've never had a truck salesman try to talk them out of buying a truck before!! I'm just trying to give them the correct information and put them in the correct truck for the application.

Same applies to tow vehicles and campers. Nobody wants to have to buy the $50-$70,000 diesel 1 ton truck to pull their home on wheels but it's what they NEED to be able to do it safely in many cases. ?
