Performance

Wondering if you folks have any issues with your pin weights.I have a 2011 Chevy dually crew cab 4x4 long bed. Any extra support from air bags required? I will be picking up our MS 36RSSB3 in a couple of weeks. We optioned a queen Select Comfort bed, that should be lighter. However we are getting a washer & dryer and the vanity slide. From reading these post, l see a lot of talk about 4 - 5 k pin weights. Add tools and what-not and who knows what the load is. So just asking if you GM
Guys are having problems.

Towed our 05 36RE3 with washer& Dryer and full timers load of stuff for 6 years with an 01 Silverado crew cab dually and had no problems at all. I'm sure your 11 is just as sturdy if not more so.

That's good to hear. I purchased it new to haul our toy hauler. It did great. But I don't think it had has high a pin weight as this new one will. I love the truck and it only has 13,000 miles on it. Wasn't concerned about pulling power, just if it would squat down. The Heartland Cyclone we had didn't budge it. It was a triple axle 42' long and estimate 18K loaded with motorcyles.

Brake Contoller

Will the intergrated brake controller on my 2011 Chey 3500HD operate the brakes on the Mobile Suite?

I've been doing some research. Looks like I have to get a Carlisle HBA-CAM control module. Can anyone verify this from their own expeirence?

Yes, I e-mailed the dealer and the Drv sales rep I was dealing with and gave them the info on my truck and they installed the hba-cam on the suite during the build.

Just talked with my dealer. He said they keep those (HBA-CAM)'s in stock and can install if needed.
