Outback, the Landmark Madison shows a pin weight of 3640. Pretty hefty for anything but a dually!

I've got pictures somewhere of a triple axles Airstream, at least 35', being pulled by a Buick Enclave. Guy had a Hensley so I guess he thought he could pull anything. Glad he left the campground before I did.

The High Country dry starts over 2400. Even those have a gvwr over 15000. Some Montana are over 3800 dry pin. Would not like pulling any Montana with a 3/4 ton and doubtful one of those would have a payload to carry unless a gasser which would scream up a hill. My High Country on the F350 srw makes all numbers with a cushion. Certainly not 3/4 range but a lot do it. The High Country is the 'light' model Montana and still gvwr over 15,000. They start at about 37', mine is 41.6'. Light does not mean anything is skimped on , the list of standard equipment is long. Have yet to see a HC with a msrp under $72k. Still the best selling 5er for the past 16 or 17 years, figure that out.

Part of the problem is Keystone themselves. They were advertising the High Country as appropriate for a 3/4 ton.
Our pin weight was advertised as 2175 but by the time we added washer/dryer combo. filled the storage bay, add the Curt hitch weight, and the DW 28 pair of shoes I was well over the F350 SRW payload of 3267.

When we came back to the park last night there was a Dodge 2500 Cummins parked behind this 5th wheel. So I am hoping this is the truck that is pulling this. The Tundra was gone. Would rather see that going down the road behind the Dodge.....Maybe they have two trucks???? But this morning the Dodge is gone and the Toyota is back.

IIRC that particular KOA does offer storage and moving. Customer bought and we delivered to that KOA for him. Looked at the website and "extended stay" is like $800.00/mo + utilities. Seasonal isn't really a term used out west. Camping season is Jan 1 through Dec 31

Hmmmm Maybe the trailer is so "big" that they need a maid to keep it up? They live in it at night (with the RAM) and the maid cleans during the day, while they're gone, and drives the Toyota ???

My wife pulls up under the nose of our 327RES Cougar with her Dodge Journey, I put a Gooseneck ball mount between the struts and drop the Andersen coupler right on it and she backs away. You should see the looks on peoples faces.

That looks like a Ford F150. I have tundra and that doesn't look like a Toyota. Look at the driver side window. The tundra window doesn't look that way. Or it could be the pic.

Yes f-150. It was in reference to pulling with a 1/2 ton

The f150 in post #7 would get my attention if working. Likely a ticket for lack of proper mirrors. Besides over weight. On the mirrors when in doubt, we drive behind the vehicle and line up on the trailers left side. Look along it and should see a mirror, if not ticket. Then I hear, before I turn right my wife checks for traffic, when I turn left I move over right as far as I can to check for traffic then turn left. Yeah, I was told that.
