I have a 2020 F-350 Dually with a 43' 2013 Dutchmen fifth wheel.

I just bought some acreage and at least for the moment I don't plan on leaving it there permanently. I'll probably drive it around 6-12 times per year and at one point the drive path has a 9° roll angle, driving through about a 50' length of driveway. This is according to the dash readout of roll angle.

Is this something I can live with?

Anyone with real world experience have a comment?

If the land is also in Florida, you probably don't need to worry about snow. However, if it is clay, after a rain it could be slick and you could lose control. Grass on clay is worse.

One day of dozer work and one culvert could possibly fix the problem and remove any worry. Cut the bank in, ditch it and put in the culvert.

What hitch & pin box are you using?

Do you have bed clearance issues....5vr overhang taping truck bed rail when going thru the 'roll'?


I use a Demco Pin Box....sliding king pin plate and a 4-way articulating hitch
With 6+ inch bed clearance.
Haven't taped the bed rail yet (been close) going thru some off chamber boondocking roads
Is it time for your medication or mine?
