2622 RK any concern?

Mi again, I'm about to order a 2622 RK Rockwood fifth wheel, can you guys tell me anything that I should be concern about or any request before signing the papers, this is my first time ordering and things are very different than before.
Thank you and good luck to all...

What are you pulling it with? Too many beginners try to tow too much 5th wheel with too little truck, because the salesman told them their truck could handle it. Loaded up, it will have a pin weight around 2000 lbs, if not more. A gasser 3/4 ton would do it, but something like a Ram CTD 3/4 ton more than likely wouldn't have enough payload. So let's see what you're driving.

I ordered a 2622RK just before Christmas, hopefully it will be made and delivered to dealership early to mid May. Good luck with your decision

My RK is tail heavy. Hard to get enough tongue weight to overcome it. Might be NBD with a 5’er.

Hi guys!!..thank you for your replies and Alaskaerikc, yes I have a Ford F250 that I think should be sufficient for the weight of the fifth. You all have a fantastic camping season!!..be safe...

Hi Danmer, have you ordered your 5th wheeler yet, I ordered mine just before Christmas, delivered to Wana RV mid May, presently waiting shipment to Melbourne Australia from Baltimore on July 5th. I hope to see mine in Australia around the middle of August
