Hello fellows, we recently purchased a 310GK and love the unit and are planning to take it south for the winter here from Alberta, I'm a bit concerned regarding the weight since it's about 2100 lbs heavier than my
old Cardinal plus 300 lbs more pin weight, having said that according to my 2015 Silverado duramax SWD specs I have a bit of headroom since is "supposed" to tow 17.000 lbs and handle 3000 lbs box weight, I also have air bags installed...we took it for couple of short camping trips and the truck did well (if you don't mind looking at the fuel gauge lol!) but the terrain is mostly flat here in Alberta so I'm a little concerned if I'll have trouble with the hills trough some of the passes going south so I'll appreciate the opinion of the members that also own 3/4 tons trucks towing a similar 5th wheel.
P.S. the 310 GK specs are UVWR 12.130 Lbs and pin weight is 2300 lbs unloaded.
Thanks for your opinions,
