5th wheel & conventional tow ratings for 4 half-ton brand trucks. It includes realistic towing capacities obtained from the RV Tow Check app.

I'm not sure if this has been posted on this forum in the past. Helpful info on tow specs and a nice towing calculator.

I have seen this before, I think just going to an E rated tire would up these limits but I wouldn't tell people to ignore this. E rated tires change the handling so much.

I agree, went to E rated and it made a world of difference.

Had our first camping trip in the new LivinLite Bearcat toyhauler this past weekend. 3 nights at Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island. Here are a couple of pics from the trip:

That Bearcat is sweet! I don't think I've seen a hybrid tow-hauler with expandable sleeping areas before. Got any pics or link for the floor plan? PS: something is definitely wrong with the weather if you can go camping in Washington in February like it's spring!

Thanks! Here is a link to the QuickSilver VRV, which is identical to the Bearcat as far as floor plan:

http://www.livinlite.com/7x18vrv-overview.php

Our floor plan is exactly like this except we don't have the optional fold-up sofa bed (we are just using two beanbag chairs and a portable table for inside seating right now):



The only difference between the Bearcat and the VRV is the Bearcat has a different color scheme and has the offroad package which consists of a couple inches of lift and all terrain tires.

Yeah, kinda weird that we are having spring-like weather while the east coast is snowed under. We've had a really mild winter and early spring.
