Houston 3 axles at 8K each and zero for the pin = 24K rating
AFAIK, 24K is the max rating for recreational RV's |
For the DRV side, 24k is the limit because of the MoRyde pin box is limited to 24k. DRV won't say what the rating is with a solid pinbox. But if the frame held together, one could assume that 3-8k axles = 24k + 25% pin weight if it was a traditional axle spread for another 6k of weight... So could the pin area framing and welding hold 30k? Possibly if the kid at Lippert was having a good Wednesday at his welding station... but that thin wall tubing is gonna hate it!
SpaceCraft and New Horizon both have traditional 5th wheel floorplans that are 28-32k for the standard build. Then you can always go to the SpaceCraft semi-frame RV that can go to 52k lbs or so.
