I need too tow my 7,400 RV camper! I have a 2019 1500 Ram Hemi 5.7 GVWR 7,100, 3.21 rear end, Equalizer hitch 107 pounds. Only have tow haul to help, plus 1857 payload.6.4 box Possible or not?

Good catch, I missed that.When you say you only have tow\haul to help, are you saying you don't have the trailer brake controller?
That's a non-starter, northman. With a trailer that heavy you need brake assist from the trailer or it will push you into an accident the first time you try to stop. The trailer itself may have brakes, but they will not work without the controller because you have to set the controller to tell it how much brake pressure to apply to the trailer brakes. My guess is, without the controller, even though you have the 7-pin connector there is/will be no power sent to the trailer brake pin.No tbc, right just tow haul! I have no experience in towing. I believe the RV has brakes. I do have the 7 pin connector does that give power to trailer brakes? Advice welcome. Plus this is a camper going on my land so I won't be traveling with it. Just to get it on my land.
Looks like your max towing cap is around 8400#, so you are at about 90% tow cap to begin with. And that would put your tongue weight at about 1250#, leaving you with only 600# for remaining cargo - you, stuff in the bed, junk behind the seat, a toolbox, etc. I think you're not going to much enjoy the towing experience.
Yup have some goofy sway control butIam no TBC no electric brakes. No wsy OP U gonna have to get a TBC installed and if OEM which IMHO is the one and get flashed not safe to tow like Tulcrepper said Non-Starter
OK, that's a start. I don't know that brand so you need to be sure the model you order is a fit for you specific truck.Iam looking at a Curt assure TBC. It's basically plug and play...
It's still needs to be programed or flashed through to OBD11 port, also a security bypass cable is needed for your 2019 5th gen.It's basically plug and play...
don't do itNo tbc, right just tow haul! I have no experience in towing. I believe the RV has brakes. I do have the 7 pin connector does that give power to trailer brakes? Advice welcome. Plus this is a camper going on my land so I won't be traveling with it. Just to get it on my land.
