Good video, thanks.

Another key item I looked for when buying my 5r was the axel (and spring/frame)rating. You will find that they use the same axels for multiple units. An example would be using the same axel on a 29’ up to a 34’, then an upgraded axel on 35- 38 and then another upgrade on the over 39. The 29 could have 2500# cargo capacity but the 34 might only have a 1500# capacity left after the weight of the longer unit is added. I moved up one foot to the shortest unit in a group and more cargo capacity but more important, the axel is not at maximum capacity when I travel. I hope that will mean I will have less opportunity for an axel issue. Mine seems to handle bumps on the highway very well. That might not be the case if the axel is near it max.
