Thanks for answering my OT question guys. I didn't realize how much weight was on the pin in a 5'er.

Pin weight can change with load and water on board. I know mine will run from 3600 to 4400. Depends if I have a full fresh water tank and grey tank has anything in it. Also we have a 5500 KW Generator up front and a washer dryer. So it adds extra weight to our pin weight also.

At 90 feet, you need an overlength permit.

IN Ar yes $5. and go on. Ms not sure but know you can run a 5th wheel and boat with your truck up to 90 ft.
Used to haul light pole logs out of the woods to the pole yard in ms. at times we were pushing 100 ft long. 40 ft trailer and 25ft tractor Rest of hanging off the end of the trailer. No telling how many stop signs and stuff was knocked out of the ground with the tail swing on those.
