gentlemen, I am new to the forum but I would like to set some questions straight that you have brought up, I own a 2009 keystone raptor 3812TS. it was shipped from the factory and the weight was 13,086, dry. i had the unit scaled with 3 harley davidson street glides, full tank of fuel and 936 pounds of cargo. full propane, batteries, and no fresh water or waste water. The trailer Weighs 16,001#. Now I dont know what state your'e in BUT, I am a F.M.C.A inspector. I own a Dodge ram 3500 quad cab dually deisel, the max tow rating on a fifth wheel is 16,000# the truck is maxed out on weight but it is not illiegal, I had to combo rate the truck to class 8= 26,000#. the toungue weight of my raptor is 2800#. not anywhere near the payload capacity of the truck. ANY 350, 3500 1 ton truck is plenty of tow vehicle for the job up to 16,000#. a 2007 ford F-350 has a GVWR of up to 13,000#. a Dodge ram 3500 has a GVWR of 12,200# a Chevy 3500 has a GVWR of 13,000#.
