1st Time 5er

[Grateful]

Hello,

We pulled the trigger and are moving from TT to 5th Wheel. Columbus RS arrives in three weeks. My DW I love to camp with the six dogs. We are out of W. NC.

Question: The GVWR of the Columbus is 14K. I am looking at the Superglide 16K, but the dealer is suggestion the 20K. Your thoughts? Also, is the lift kit a good idea out of the gate. We are going to use the super rails.

Best,
Grateful (Veteran)

I would have no issue with a 16k hitch- especially the SuperGlide. It's a nice hitch!

I found that with my 3300 with rails worked 99% of the time. The 1% caused some damage in a turn while descending into a steep campground. I also could not use my hard cover (not enough room) so I had to buy a soft cover.

I just bought the 3 inch kit and plan on using it this year so I can put my hard cover back on.

Welcome from Wisconsin and congrats on your new Columbus RS.

If you use the Reese Revolution, you can use the hard cover even while towing. I've even seen one.
