    Truck Tires For 2014 2500HD Silverado

    Lynn1130, You are correct! That is exactly what's on my truck and they have around 52,000 miles on them. So, before I hook up to the 5'er I'll be replacing them with something for sure!

    Flooring Material?

    I've done some research on wood flooring material, and I wonder why isn't marine grade plywood used in the floor of RV's? It's weight, and price is only slightly higher and you wouldn't have as many issues as I see it?? So why not?? Especially when the consumer is spending $50,000 - $80,000 on a...

    Tires?

    LOL, OK guys, you're getting me there! Your reference to a garage and a basement?? Did I mention that I was very new to this?

    Tires?

    That definitely helps! So if I'm looking at a 3450 TS Big Country @ 12,750 lbs, will the 2500HD Silverado Diesel be large enough to handle it is the $100,000.00 question? I guess it depends on who I ask. I've been told both ways, but like you mentioned you don't really know until you hook up to...

    Tires?

    Thanks for your information! I will look into that, but the whole weight thing is very confusing! You mention that your payload is 4300 Lbs. What exactly does that mean?

    Is It Worth It??

    I've read many of the posts, and I wonder is the cost of a 5th wheel ($35,000 - $60,000) worth all the trouble.
