I have just purchased a ‘04 Weekend Warrior, FS2600. It has the fiberglass sides and per the original owner it has all the available options. I am going to pull it with a ‘05 2500HD Duramax. It is a 4wd crew cab long bed.
I think the trailer is great but have some concerns about the weight and for sure the tongue weight. Can anyone with a similar rig give me some advice on what the hitch set-up should be? Can you answer the following questions?
What is loading rating on hitch?
Do you use an equalizer type hitch? If so what is arm rating?
Do you use air bags?
What do you think your tongue load is?
Anything more I should be asking?

Thanks your help

Your asking excellent questions. I cannot answer them, but can provide a suggestion that might help. Besides asking your question on this forum, I would ask the same question on the Toy Hauler forum at RV.net (use the link below):

You will find many owners of the same trailer that should be able to address your questions.


Hope this helps,
