If you don't have the 5th wheel yet, maybe there are other trailers that will fit your need?
We tow a 16ft Airstream Bambi - love it and it tows like there's nothing behind us, even on the worst of grades.

Same thing here - tranny temps can climb. I went to the large AFE pan and the Saudi transmission cooler. I haven't had issues since. However since I beefed up my supercharger even more (69mm pulley and full Kooks headers) I can now get my engine temp to climb during the worst hill climbs in the Rockies - while towing. I'm considering upgrading my radiator since I don't think there's actually anything wrong, just a matter of dumping more fuel into the motor and pushing more power out. Tranny temps solid so far though.I think a small tow-behind is perfect for this size truck. My wife and I want to do that at some point. Of course with the Roush blower on it, mine climbs great, and tows my boat great, but my main issue is that I've seen some transmission temps that I don't like. Part of is is that we live in Vegas, and the other is that the intercooler sits in front of everything. Changing fluid, and upgrading to the larger transmission cooler to see if I can improve temps. Love the Airstreams!
Interesting, didn't know these existed! Going to try to find the tranny pan first.I went to the large AFE pan and the Saudi transmission cooler.
