Ram 3500 Dually. Pulls great and so does the trailer. By the way, my 356qbq and truck are both for sale.

Chewie thanks for the reply and the offer. Can I ask why selling your rig?

We are buying a motorhome. As for towing, the ram Dually handled the trailer very well. No sway and tracked very well also. Good matched combo. Others do it in less of a truck, but me personally like how the Dually handles and rides with such a big trailer.

I would like to hear others experience with towing this camper, Salem Hemisphere 356QBQ, with a non dually. I have a chance to get this camper at a great deal. I have a 2011 Dodge Ram Crew Cab, 2500, 6.7L. Anyone else tow with similar? Thoughts or comments?

My thoughts are my own.
You will be over your trucks gross ( if you care)
I would look a bit smaller. But, it's up to you!

I tow mine with a 2000 F250 7.3L. Pulls it beautifully. I am not sure how you would be over your gross. I am not and my understanding is the newer rucks are rated a little higher.

I will be close to my max GVWR in the trailer is fully loaded which we do not travel loaded to the max water tanks are empty so I don't think I will have a problem.
Looking to upgrade my tires and add airbags to help with the ride.

I pull mine with a 2009 Chevrolet 2500 HD crew cab Duramax. Pulls it nicely with zero issues.

I've used a 1500 silverado short box but the 5.3L works pretty hard on the hills. I've also used an f350 dually with a 7.3 which is obviously better, but both work to get it around.

Wow your pulling it with a half ton? It's all the load I want to hook to 3/4 ton diesel I couldn't imagine doing with any less.

It pulls great and is just enough as the truck is rated to tow 13k.

Not to high jack the thread but was wondering if someone has the measurement between the front landing gear handy. I have not picked mine up from the dealer getting warranty work done and I want to get the stabilizer ordered before the price goes back up. The dealer is over an hour away so driving there is not an option.

Just went out and measured. Between the fixed outer tubes it is 5 foot 1/4 inch. Between the adjustable tubes it is 5 foot 1/2 inch. Hope this helps. Ours is a 2016.
