I'd love to see a video on the slide set up in your truck! My husband and I mountain bike and are new Airstreamers :)

If you have any questions after watching the video, let me know, happy to help.
I tow a 30 Foot Classic on the ball only. My truck is a dually. We have been all over the country and Canada over the past view years and in 70 MPH winds without any issues at all.
Hi KCWerv, Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment-I really appreciate the feedback. We can all sit, talk, and discuss, but firsthand knowledge and experience always trump everything else. I truly value your input. Hope to see you down the road!
What’s the weight of your trailer? I have a Bigfoot trailer on order that has a GVRW of 7500 and is roughly 27’ . I will pull it with a 2025 F350 longbed 7.3 . I really don’t think I need anything but did order a ProPride hitch so my wife would feel comfortable when driving.
The max weight of my trailer is 7,600 lbs and it’s also 27 feet long. Your Bigfoot sounds very similar in size-great-looking trailer, by the way, with a layout similar to my Airstream. The ProPride hitch looks like an excellent choice, and it never hurts to have that extra anti-sway protection. In my video, I was trying to point out that in some cases, towing without a WDH can also be fine and safe. However, it’s important to pay extra attention to other factors, such as: • Maintaining the correct tongue weight (10-15% of GTW on the hitch). • Ensuring the rig is level. • Slowing down in inclement weather. • Considering the trailer’s height, as it creates a higher center of gravity and increases lateral wind forces on the rig. Airstream owners lately have some concern about the extra flexing forces that weight distribution hitches can put on the front of certain trailer models, which in some cases have caused separation issues over time. Another thing to consider. I agree that you’d probably be fine without the hitch, but going with that setup is never a bad idea-plus, happy wife, happy life! :) Safe Travels!
After five years with the weight distribution hitch for my 2500 Duramax with air bags and 25 foot Airstream, I replaced the hitch with a GEN-Y GH-1214 The BOSS Torsion-Flex hitch. The purpose of the hitch is to provide a smoother ride for the truck and trailer. I do not have an opinion on the new hitch since I've only put a few miles since changing.
Thanks for sharing, Jack! I’ve heard great things about GEN-Y and considered it, along with some similar hitches. I’d be very interested in comparing results this fall. Safe Travels!
