Avalanche 341TG

Looking at an Avalanche 341TG due to the bunk room. We will having grandkids with us most of the time. Plan to pull it with a 2012 F-350 PSD SRW since I need to use the truck for day to day chores, etc. Any thoughts on this configuration; either rv or truck?

Watt,
We pull our Alpine 3555RL with a 2009 F-250 Short Bed and it does a great job, so your F-350 should be up to the task.

We have a 2011 Avalanche 340TG and pull it with a 2001 2500HD and don't have any problems.

We just got our 5er in March. We have been out in it 2 times and love it!! We have 3 kids and now one on the way.

We have done a couple things to 'improve' it for us.

The thermostat in the 341TG should be in a different location than ours was, but I imaging the hot/cold 'problem' in the 2nd bath is the same

I have the exact fifth wheel with loads of goodies inside and pull with a 2010 F-250 rear wheel drive short bed. I love the trailer and pulling is easy.

Thank you. Have Avalanche 320RK and new 250 short bed. Cuz has 2500 short bed & says he never used his also. My Avalanche is rounded with indented corners. So considering a stationary hitch instead of slider. Any thoughts. Thank you.
