You really don't want make your decision based on what someone else is doing. You need to looked at the weight stickers on both the trailer and the tow vehicle and make sure you are legal. If you are normal your RV will be near the maximum gross weight after you have loaded it for camping and filled the propane and fresh water. A lot of the Montana's are 16k as a max. If the Tow Guide for your pickup can't legally tow a fifth wheel weighing that much, then pick a different TV or RV.

Remember it's not what you pull, it's can you stop it also.

I struggled with the right pickup decision, until my insurance man said he would not insure me if I knowingly was overloading my truck.
