Pin weight?...what's that??
While killing time between balloon events in Albuquerque last week end, I went to an RV show at the downtown convention center. While there, as I was admiring an interesting looking 5er, a salesman approached me and said. "can I help you?". I said, "yea...what's the pin weight of this unit?". He said "oh, I dunno...about 2 or 300 pounds". I said, "are you sure about that?". He said, "not really...that's not a question that people usually ask". So, in my usual "I hate salespeople who don't know their butts from their brains" attitude said, "I guess then, you really cannot help me". The moral of this story is that not all salespeople are bad but you really need to work to find a good one!

Yup, you put that guy together with the Toyota salesman who knows the Tundra is "over built" and you've got a lot of fun going down the road.

What's wrong with spraying oil? I've seen a bunch of used cars with oil all over underneath. That makes them able to go faster, doesn't it? We even bought a brand new Firebird TransAm that had an automatic lower oil sprayer. We returned it to the dealer and he did something to it, it went real fast.

With a pin weight of only a few hundred pounds you won't even need a 1/2 ton, you can use one of the mini pickups to tow that 5th wheel.
