    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    Yeah, I have heard of some horror stories with TT's and 5vers. I'm a fairly handy guy so I wasn't going to let the small things scare me off, and I took out some extended warranty for the others. If I end up fixing something, it will be done right and better than before, and if I can make it...

    100% it would be. But there are a lot of people out there that might only look at max tow capacity as their limiter, and not think about tongue weights, and payloads. Good luck with your shopping experience. The market right now is crazy hot for TT and 5ths. We were down at the dealer on...

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    That is amazing, congratulations. Sounds like your in good shape with the set up, will just need to be careful with the payload capacity. Being a Laramie, I bet your around the 1300lbs payload mark (check your door sticker) Our trailer is a little longer at 33ft, but dry is 6300lbs and a...

    Yes, but you need to make sure you have power to your 7 way. I have heard with the Ford's that you need to add a fuse and relay, not sure with our Rams or not. My trailer was just delivered to the dealer and will be stored there still the snow is gone. I have not had the opportunity to check...

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    Hi all, long time reader, short time poster. Going back to the entire reason this thread was started, silver billet mentioned about having a site or calculator that would build all of this information for you (outside of what WDH to go with), giving you a pass or fail if your truck could tow...

    Add Fender Flares or leave off

    Correct me if I am wrong, but on these new rams you need to drill holes in the sides of the fenders (that is what the clips are for), and re-use the bolts from underneath. When you order the trucks from the factory, you need to specify with or without the flares. They then stamp the holes and...
