We are very excited after making a deposit on a 2026 Paradigm 388SP. We are upgrading from our Forest River Wildcat. We are also upgrading our Tow vehicle. Is anyone comfortably and safley towing thec388SP with a Single Rear Wheel (SRW) vehicle? Or am I looking at a dually only?



Thank you for your positive feedback and confirmation!!

Congratulations and Welcome to the Forum! You may be able to get a SRW to tow it, but you could not fully load it and you would have no safety margin. I learned after going through the process that you can never have too much truck. It took a bit for me to jump to the dually, due to its size, daily drive, etc., but the juice is worth the squeeze when you are towing that expensive 5th wheel. BTW, great new floor plan!!

Enjoy,

A SRW drive is ok but there is greater stability and drive ability just from my experience. A DRW cost a bit more but if you travel a lot it is worth it. Also look into getting a truck with a higher rear gear ratio, 4.10. Yes, a little less gas mileage but better drive ability.

Dually is what you really need. Not much more money. Piece of mind is worth a lot. This how much more for a Ram, $1,500.00 well spent.

Dually for sure...I have a friend that is way more anal and a motor head. He spent a lot of money spec-ing his single axel 350 ford and thought he was saving money. After pulling his 44' North point, he is wishing he got the training wheels (Dually). My regret...not getting a 450 Ford. I have a 350 Dually and the limited steering is a HUGE thing to consider with tighter sights. I can always get into what the sight requires, but patience will be required. Limited steering means a few more smaller moves to hit the camping target.
