    5th wheels start being an advantage over 32 ft...there are many people pulling bumper pulls up to that length..match your trailer weight to a little less than your truck raring, and you will be fine..decide which type you are going to buy..get the hitch work done, and get a dealer to let you tow several units to see which one you like...might also check a few of the campgrounds you plan to camp..the older ones are tight on allot of spots..mine is 26 ft...roughly 32 bumper to bumper...does me fine..once again..balance the weight of the trailer to the towing capacity of the truck

    Bumper pull Bama, doubt I will have a bumper pull, got something in mind I want to do and figure it will be well over 40 feet.

    John , I have a backup plan for a 38' fifth wheel toy hauler. I may have to lean that way.

    Lee, send ShiloRed a PM. He has a 40 ft fifth wheel and has had a couple of more. Pulled them with all kinds of trucks. Like Knightshadow said match truck to load. From a truck driving perspective I'm thinking that 3/4 ton might be just a little light in the hip pockets for a 38 footer in handling the wind and the load even if it is high rated.

    I didnt read all the thread, but if you are in the market, my parents have a Tiffin Allegro RV w 15000 miles for sale. I think it's 33'. No toy hauler but it'd pull whatever you wanted to haul

    Most 36-38 toy haulers are real heavy..may need a 1 ton. Shiloh has got one of the biggest rigs I know..he will be at spring camp..I will have mine too..come over and look.

    Why not get an enclosed trailer and fix it up the way you want?

    I've been planning out mine in my head for a few months.

    You just hit the nail on the head and when you see the retractable beds in the toy haulers it really gets the wheels spinning. I would like to haul the boat in the trailer, unload it when destination is reached and load it back in the trailer when headed home.
