    Mowbility seems to be selling WR Long stuff. Summit hydraulics is worth a look. Are you buying a lane shark (or similar). They use an extra "line" directly back to the sump.

    I need help finding a side link pin

    Should be Kioti part number 34354-7158-3. Lots of dealers would be happy to mail you one or two. For that location, I would consider using cotter pins (keys)instead of the hitch pin clips. Less chance of losing them and how often do you change the pin location anyways...

    Translating PA's towing limits - can I tow a 15,000 pound trailer?

    No, the state decides the rules, not the rv industry. The non-commercial classes don’t predicate what you drive or purchase. Some of that language is in place to make sure RV owners are aware that they are not exempt. IMO, Pulling a 47 foot, 13 foot clearance, triple axle 20k pound toy hauler...
