[GX617]

I am new to this site and was looking for advice on a unit we are considering.

I am seeking opinions; are the tow vehicle & trailer too maxed out for the specified weight capacities?

Are these capacities too marginal to allow for packing everything one needs to hit the road comfortably equipped for lengthy touring?

Any and all opinions are welcome.... thank you!

The following specs refer:

5th Wheel: 2008 Big Sky 340RLQ fully equipped minus washer/dryer
- GVWR 16,105#;
- shipping weight listed at 12,355#,
- carrying capacity of 3,750#
- Hitch weigh is 2105#,
- Does the 5500 Onan LP Generator raise the hitch weight and by how much?


Tow vehicle: 2008 GMC Duramax 6.6L, 6 spd Allison, 2500HD 4X4 Crew Cab SB,
GM lists the following specifications:
-GVWR = 9200#
-GCWR = 22,000#
-max towing weight with 5th wheel = 15,800#.

Truck has been fitted with:
- frame air bags with under hood compressor and under-dash controller.
- Reese 18K 5th wheel slider hitch
