    I am considering purchasing a new Heartland Landmark 5th wheel this year.  My truck is rated for 17,400 lbs of trailer weight, and the Landmark dry weight is 15,200 lbs.  I don’t normally tow with any or much water, but I figured with gear and maybe a little water I would be getting fairly close to my max truck towing capacity.

    Does anyone have any experience with having a coach so close to the truck towing capacity?
