Location: Webster, KY		Looking at an 18ft shortwall with slide 4 horse triable to tow with 2011you dodge dually.....too heavy I think it std wheels but wondering how much diff there will be cuz of drizzle. Dealer said sundowner planned for this setup to be ok for a 3500? Any thoughts? Presently towing a 16ft no slide 3horse sundowner pretty well

Location: Grant Twp., MI		In my opinion, serious braking, towing issues...you would be over the GCVWR...but some folks will do it anyway.

Location: Ottawa, Illinois 61350		The triaxle setup does help on weight distribution; but I have to agree that a 3500 isn't enough truck for an 18' slide unit 4H.  We sold one of these a couple of years ago, and it went behind a 7.3 F-550.  That's probably the minimum truck I would want on this sized trailer.  Ideally, the midsized haulers, like the F/L's, baby Pete's or Internationals are the trucks to have on that sized trailer.

That trailer probably has a GVWR of 21000# to 24000# or greater...
