Mike, we have only driven 100 miles to get it home, but it was raining hard and the wind was blowing. The 1500 towed the 7800 pounds of dry weight with ease. I am estimating that we will put 750 pounds in it, I don't ever plan to run with full fresh/grey/black tanks. The tong weight from the factory is 900 but we will add a couple more I imagine. The Ram is rated at 9900 pounds towing, and it does squat when we are hooked up. For $100 I purchased a set of Air lift 1000 air helper springs that have good reviews. They arrive tomorrow so I hope to get them installed right away to reduce the sagging.

Some would argue that the 36 feet behind me is too much for the truck. But I am happy with it so far. Its not for everyone, but it can be done safely. I have been driving big things for 20 years so I feel I have enough experience to get me safely down the road.
