Just ordered a Momentum 328M
My wife Cheryl and I just made the big purchase. This will be our first fifth wheel. Now we're looking for a hitch that will fit in the bed of the Nissan Frontier....
Just kidding...... really.
Our TV will be a '14 Ram 3500 CTD dually, AISIN w/3.73 axles.
We went with the shorter Momentum to keep our options open when camping in state parks and some of the less accommodating CG's in national parks. For the most part, it will just be the two of us part-timing. The toy hauler format is appealing to us for the versatility it brings. I like being able to bring along a dirt bike or a pair of mountain bikes/kayaks, etc. yet once we set up camp, be able to "reclaim" the garage as a bedroom for guests or a dinette area with a patio. Being a new ham operator (AA0SB), I'm also looking to doing some DX-ing when out in the boonies. The garage area will be perfect for setting up a mini-shack.
With retirement just around the corner, we're looking forward to the free time to travel and the chance to meet many of you at the rallies. Maybe we'll even get a chance to meet the MomentumGunner's too - sounds like we have a lot in common.
Cheers from Colorado,
Steve & Cheryl

Congratulations and welcome to the GD family and our little spot of sanity here in cyber world. I almost spit coffee on my computer screen when I read that second sentence. Not nice, but funny

Hehe, I never get into the internet wars regarding tow vehicles but as I started to read your post I reread that first line 3 times freaking out before I moved on down. That was funny!
Congrats on the new trailer and I assure you, you will love towing and camping in a 5th wheel. Once we got our first 5th wheel we never considered anything else. Well, we thought briefly about trying a Class A diesel pusher and towed vehicle but after being in so many we never could see us enjoying being in one as much as the feeling of a 5th wheel.
Good luck and welcomePaul "Poppy" and Deb Cervone

Congratulations! I have a 2014 Ram 3500 HD with DRW. I use a Reese 22K hitch with no problems. It is a little bit overkill, but I'm a firm believer in bigger is better. Have fun, travel safe. 73 de K0LCB

Congrats and welcome to the family.
That was funny, but won't be long and somebody will be towing a small GD 5er with a Nissan, now that they have the Cummins available. Not me, I'll stick with a dually.Scott and Jan Platt Ocala, FL
