Enclosed trailer question

We have been going through the same exercise. My ram has airbags. We used to tow a 25 foot trailer and have mx bike/tools/power washer / 45 gal water barrel / firewood and a couple of bicycles in the back. Kids are slowly moving out and we sold the trailer that could sleep 10 and we have been looking for a 32 foot 5th wheel that sleeps two and dogs.

Went to a really good RV board and started asking questions...then went armed back to a rv dealer and asked them again.

My RAM will not be safe pulling a fifth wheel unless is it really small. Even with the trailer having electric brakes, we really shouldn't be going over 8K with a tag along.

It can be done. But it cannot be done safely. What may work in a controlled situation may go sideways when sh8t hits the fan and you are in panic mode.

Then you got to ask yourself what you life and your passenger's lives are worth ? And the traffic on our roads is getting heavier and the road conditions sometimes are not the best.. We are getting older and our reactions are slower..

In the short term, we are going to keep the RAM and buy a smaller tag a long.

This was a hard conversation between us.. our RAM has excellent memories that we are not willing to give up yet..
