Bought a 5th wheel.. now I need a truck
My wife and I have been thinking about upgrading to a 5th wheel and stopped by the local Campers Inn to see what they had for used units.. They had just taken in a 2007 Jayco Eagle 325BHS in trade....

Nice RV!
2011 or newer F350 or 3500HD SRW. Long box so you don't need a slider hitch.
The hitch weight will be closer to 2300 lbs. Your curb weight is closer to 10,000 lbs. Our advertized dry curb weight was 9,700 lbs. Actual weight out the factory was 10,014 lbs - no propane, no slide awnings, all tanks empty and 1 battery
You need payload for fuel, passengers, hitch, truck options, trailer options and anything you put in the truck box.
Similar trailer - my CAT scale weight (two passengers and full tank of fuel - black and gray tanks empty - water tank about 1/3 full)
Steer Axle - 4900 lbs
Drive Axle - 6060 lbs
Trailer Axle - 9220 lbs
Gross Weight - 20,180 lbs
Truck GVWR - 11,600 lbs
Trailer GVWR - 12,380 lbs
My truck weight with me in it is about 8000 lbs
