Lee, I agree it takes more traction to get the extra wieght moving. I saw where there are a few running low to middle 11's. Great fun.

I know yours is but what i meant was i never saw a short box regular cab 2500. You drag around a fifth wheel with a short box you must have a slider hitch.

My Megacab is a short bed/box and I pull a 5th wheel RV with it. I do have a slider hitch too, but have never used it either. My RV helps in that department, the company that makes it has a patented 88-degrees turn ability.

Do your rv's have an extended pin box? I was always told shortbeds and fifth wheels don't play nicely, you don't have the 90 degree capablity but then how many times will you do a 90. I personally prefer a long bed for a hauling/work truck.

Most all kingpins are extended a bit (not much) on RV's these days. And yes, the "rule of thumb" is short beds and 5th wheels don't play nice. But, there are a lot on the road these days. I watched a guy bust both corners of his back window at a small RV park on the beach a few years ago...first side when he arrived and backed in, and the other side when he was leaving, it was a short bed and the park is very tight. I've jacked mine around pretty far, but again mine can turn 88-degrees.
And I wish my Megacab was a long bed, but unfortunately that is a custom conversion and not cheap at all.
