Just purchased a used 2017 Fuzion 371. Amazing unit we are very happy but still have a few issues and questions. This is our 3rd toy hauler and 1st 5th wheel. Love it so far.

Welcome to the forum. That's a lot of trailer at 39' and 17K gross weight. As you stated this is your first fiver just want to point out a couple of things. The tongue weight on your travel trailers were ahout 13% of trailer weight. The fith wheel will be somewhere around 20% to 23%. Your pin weight will likely be north of 3,500 lbs fully loaded.

Another difference is the change in pin weight vs tongue weight. Loading a fith wheel toy hualer will not reduce the pin weight like some TT toy hualers will. Enjoy your new to you trailer and safe travels.

Thanks, yes we took a 500 mile trip last weekend and it towed well, air bags helped. we have an auto slider hitch which is nice but we are still learning the unit. Thanks for the advice, always willing to learn.
