New from upstate NY

My wife and i purchased a 2017 impact 311. Our tow vehicle is a 2015 chevy 2500hd diesel. We pick up our camper Wednesday. We are excited and I'm a little nervous, I have never pulled a fifth wheel. I have the turnover ball and an Anderson ultimate hitch.

Welcome to the forum from upstate NY. Enjoy your new RV.

With your hitch weight I recommend installing some air bags. Won't increase the GVWR of the truck but it will tow the RV better.

Welcome from Toronto, we were down your way near the end of May. Stayed at Association island KOA for shake down trip. Was nice. You'll lose the nerves once you start driving.
