You should never even get close to that GVWR... That would be 520lbs per person counting for 6 people. Most 29ft seem to be bunkhouse models. Hence the divvide by 6.

You will need the following:
Brake Controller - favorite on the boards seems to be the Prodigy by Tekonsa.(sp?)
WD Hitch - personal favorite is the Equal-I-Zer brand, but have heard good about the newer Reese Dual Cams.. all about dollars. Get the 1200/12000 either way. Far better to be above hitch needs than below, and differnce in cost is minimal.

Recommended Accessories:

Firestone Ride-Smart aribag kit. Helps keep load level without destroying your kidneys.

BT mirrors if you don't already have them. These ought to be mandatory items actually.
