Towing clearance
Hi I have a 2021 GMC standard bed with a BW 25,000 lb 5th wheel hitch, My truck has the airlift 7500 lb bags on the rear suspension I'm looking to buy a solitude from Grand design 380 FL Will I have problems with turning clearances can somebody help? I don't think I should have any problem with the weight, and it is a 6.6 l Duramax diesel.

Hey @Sascarpa, welcome to the forum, glad to have you with us. I've moved your post to reflect better the topic you've asked about. I'm sure others more knowledgeable than I can chime in on the clearance for that Solitude, there are a lot of threads on the forum as well on this topic (the search bar is your friend).

Your describe your truck as a "standard bed." With GM products this implies it's a single rear wheel - possibly a 3/4-ton? In either case, it's not nearly enough truck for the 380FL. Loaded, that trailer will put 3,800 lbs. on the pin. Add in the weight for a hitch, passengers, and gear, I doubt seriously your truck will have the payload... air bags or not.
