First 5er pull - Gotchas?
Looks like I found our first Montana 5er (373RD)! Going 4 hours from home on Saturday to pick it up and pull it home. The seller is including a Pullrite 2900 autoslider that I'm told came from a 2020+ GMC 2500 with puck. I think it was made for an older GMC but now has the adapter rack that fits the newer puck system. We have a 2024 3500HD with puck system.
I've pulled many trailers over the years and grew up on a farm driving tractors and pulling balers and wagons. But I've never pulled a 5th wheel trailer. I don't feel like a towing newbie, but I know enough to consider things I may not think of!
Private seller, but we are exchanging at an RV dealer shop so I'm hopeful they will help me get set up safely.
Any first timer tips, tricks that you'd offer to avoid a gotcha that I might not think about? Hooking up? Braking? turning? making a tight turn into my driveway at home? Any tools, etc that I might not think to take with? etc
TIA!
