Fantastic video. Very informative! I have a CDL and used to run OTR. Very familiar with the Angola, Indiana area when running cross country. Stay safe out there!
Another very helpful video! I just hit the button! Very sad that I can go to the truck dealership and nobody seems to want to put themselves out there or their brand and "find " these numbers. My truck is a 2017
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Enjoying it. I just purchased a 2024 Avenue 29RL like yours. Haven’t had it camping yet but will shortly. The sticker on the side of my RV states a GVWR of 10,995 LB. This is quite a bit lower than yours and lower than the ALLIANCE web site. I’m wondering why my RV has a 900 LB lower GVWR. My "cargo should never exceed" is 1355 LBS. Was a change made in the frame? Was there a clerical\printing error when my placard was printed? I reached out to Alliance, but so far they don’t have an explanation, only can reproduce the as-built specs. They also pointed out that if you drill down further into the web site, the data sheet says 10,995. Do you have any insight on this? What is your "cargo should never exceed?" Thanks again for the videos.
Good Information.... The tongue weights on Travel Trailers vary from what RV Manufactures state on their websites by up to 100 lbs. - 700 lbs. - So, people can expect the same for 5th Wheels especially if it is a Toy Hauler. Happy Camping.
Great job on the video. I recently weighed our truck and TT found out that we were within 60# of max on the rear axle. I could transfer some of that to front axle with the WD hitch if needed. Our current 22’ TT is about max for our current 1/2 ton. Without going to the scales there is no way of knowing the numbers and where the setup is at. The truck and trailer tow great so it was a surprise to see the numbers from the scale.
Great information. We have not done this yet and should. We have a 2022 GMC 2500 gas truck. Pull a Torque T26 TT toy hauler. It’s about 7900 dry weight. We carry an electric golf cart. The truck does a great job especially paired with the Propride 3P hitch ( no sway at all). Happy Travels!
Good job explaining your weights, but you added your pin weight twice. the pin weight is added to the truck only, as seen on your weight ticket no need to also add it to the trailer weight as the trailer axels are not carrying that load, when you scale your only looking at what weight is on the axels
Pick up our Avenue 29RL next week and have some questions. We have a 2024 GMC 2500 diesel and have not chosen our hitch. Leaning towards the Anderson ultimate. Do you like your hitch? Would you buy the same hitch today? Is there more clearance between the truck rails and fifth wheel on the 29RL than the 22ML? How sharp of turn can you achieve with your setup? Thanks, Len C
