Thank you very much for taking the time to explain all . I will proceed ahead with caution and have the actual numbers I need. On the rough, I would not like to get anywhere close to whatever max weight is allowed... As is, I like my truck, so I do not want to kill it before its time.
As for dealers, they typically look at my truck, see the word diesel written on the side and instantly they say,,, Oh well you have a diesel ,,,, you can get anything you want right up to 3 or 4 slides.... That may be true in some 5th wheels, but certainly not all... And for sure after finding a 3 or 4 slider, there would not be much room for play.
A two slider, or even a one slide unit is fine. One thing I have noticed is that a one slide unit has more room than a two slide unit ... (Asssuming the slides are not out and they are accross from each other) To me, this is an asset for those rest stops when you would like to just pull over and take a break from driving... go into the rv and use it for whatever.
But thank you for all the info... I am still looking .. I do hope to find what I want, within the price range that I want it to be.
