Thanks for the advice. One more question for you, I see your pulling with a V-10, well I have the same year, make and model as you, (06 F-250 V-10) How much weight are you pulling and how does it handle it? Ive been pulling around 7000 lbs and you cant even tell its back there, bit it sits a lot lower in the air then a fifth wheel. My new rig dry weighs at 10,010 lbs and has a gross capacity of 14,000. I'm right at 11,200 loaded,(dry 9842)and it does a great job,plenty of power and get about 8.7-9.2 mpg at 62mph,(no BIG mountains)my Cougar 29'TT was about 8000 loaded,you"ll notice it feels a lot heavier but,the handling is so good it's really easy to pull,great looking unit you have.....you"ll enjoy it alot!
