I recently decided to kick tires at RV stores, just to see what is out there and see if I could get ideas to spruce up my 10 yr old unit. Ended up at 3 lots.

Not one of the RV salesmen tried to get me into a rig I couldn't tow. All 3 asked what I towed with and when I said I was thinking of getting bigger, not one told me I'd be fine now. My truck is rated to two 10,800 (per brochures) and maxes out payload at 8,200. The heaviest trailer I looked at was 10,500, but again, not one of the salesmen pushed me to go that big with what I currently have.

I was surprised and impressed.

I even had one salesmen inform me that I would need to be licensed different if I went over 10K. Was news to me but he was 100% correct.

So no pushing and I learned something
