Agree with nearly all those writing. I-10 has some "bucking" but about the time I was going to get off the road, it stopped! We always take I-10 even if . . .

I've been told many times by putting weight on the back of a 5th wheel can throw "off" the over-all balance of the rig. If this is not true, I would agree with Montana Man.
