Exclamation 1999a weight ?

What is the most weight I can have for a 5th wheel RV for a 1999a F250 SRW?

Is it the same weight for a bumper pull RV as it is a 5th wheel?

Thanks

Combined gross vehicle weight is #20,000. Which means with a CC lwb diesel truck you can pull a little over #12,000

Which makes vehicle weight about 8000 lbs then?

Limitations of the hitch. SOME Class V trailer hitches are rated up to 12,000lbs.... but not the OEM stuff

By smaller do you mean they physically take up less room, or a lower weight rating? Superglide has a 12K fifth wheel hitch that's made for ultra shortbeds like the F-150 Supercrew and Toyota Tundra.....but it's almost $1900. You can get a 20K roller/slider for half that, and a standard 16K for around $400.

Also...it only costs a couple of bucks to put your truck on the scale at your local truckstop. Get it weighed and you'll know exactly how much room you've got to play with when looking at fivers.
