Towing Options - 1998 Silverado 1500

I'm looking at buying a 26ft 5th wheel camper and was wondering if the 1500 series could accept it. I'd assume that if it can pull a bumper hitch camper, it shouldn't by an issue, but you know what they say about assuming things.

Anything that I should thing about doing to the suspension?

Might want to read your owner's manual for towing capacity.

Brakes on the 1500 don't tend to be the best. Usually the engine can pull way more than the brakes can stop safely.

being that sized camper The brakes would be the problem...also the suspension/frame to handle that is IMO too much.. you need a 2500...call camper places and give camper details then post back whats OK..
