Thread: Rv/toy haulers

Gotta be from sippi>..... I'm liking this set up. Lol

Looking good

Leaning hard toward a fifth wheel , the more I research.

If I were in the market for one I think that is the way I would go, with the rig you have no problem pulling or stopping (trailer stops the truck if the brakes are set right) a nice 5th wheel with your boat hooked behind it. You boat is way lighter than that glass boat in that picture.

Ok guys, we need to talk serious for a minute.. Most of you that know me know that I count all of you as family.. I have owned campers since the 60s, and worked in sales for over 9 years... Seen thousands of rigs of every description.. That said.. The practice of pulling a boat behind a camper Is extremely dangerous, and unsafe.. no 5th wheel camper that I know of is set up to do this from a factory...There have been many accidents caused by people trying to pull this way..Our three dealerships would not hook one up..I have lost several sales, and had people argue that the company was wrong.. The frame has to be really beefed up, by a professional to carry the weight..John, most campers have electric brakes..that are made to stop the trailer...not the truck..I do not want to attend anyone's funeral..So I feel you should be warned...Lee, you are new to this world..get advice from a dealer you trust....that is my opinion..like it or not..

All I was saying on the brakes is if set right there should be NO push from the trailer (I did misstate that), have pulled many a load on heavy bumper pulls and long goosenecks and the brakes on the trailer were the key to safe stopping.
Pulling piggy back is done all the time and I have only heard of one time a boat and trailer coming loose, lot more blow outs causing accidents daily. Set up right I just don't see a problem, this was once illegal in the state of MS but no longer is, don't feel the law was changed without some data to support it.

I would be way over the legal length with my setup if it's 65'. I'll just have to make two trips when I go camping.

Need a toy hauler with 24 feet of space so you can load the boat inside the trailer when traveling.
