That's from my RV show picture files. I don't remember what trailer I got that from but I think it was a Heartland Landmark.
The original pin box on my camper was rated at 16k, the Goose Box I have now is rated at 20k.

I know of someone that has “someone” looking over his shoulder as he must have more than 5,000 pounds pin weight. He actually has a home shop instead of his bedroom over the pin. It is an old triple axle camper he lives in. Pulls it with an old beat up F350. I would not want to be on the road with him, but he has been doing it for years. I also met two couples this past summer that were pulling mid size 5th wheels with 1/2 ton pickups. Both had Timbrins and the truck frames were hard on the axles. One was a Ram, the other a Toyota. They both claim to have been all over the country like that.
