What size 5th wheel are you towing?
Sponsored
As I recall, somewhere in the owner's manual it says not to tow a 5th wheel.Seems like a bad idea.
Problem is that, not counting the small trailers listed above, the smallest 5th wheels that are of "regular" construction, weigh in excess of 8-9000 lbs with hitch weights over 1000 lbs...way too much for the Ranger.5th wheels handle much better than a regular travel trailer. Eliminates most sway problems. Don't understand why it's a bad idea as long as you stay within the gross weight and pin weight.
It would work, and the Ranger should tow it with no problem.
the scamp 19' deluxe is under 3000lbs why wouldn't it work? now I want it
We don't boondock and unfortunately the campgrounds we stay at don't provide logs to sit on, and even if they did, would be hard to move under the awning. Also, I like to sit outside under the awning for several hours at a time and read, or contemplate my pickle recipes, have a beer, or talk to the passer-by'spull up a log beside the campfire.
who needs chairs and a grill?
I can go to a restaurant for that kind of luxury.
