Designer 35RLTS and Jayco Talk...Thanks Frank!!

We just picked it up today, even with the stock pin box, this thing pulls great!

I pull our 35 RLSA with a 08 F350 4x4 srw and have the 3.73 rear end. I have no problems. Make sure you know what the GVWR is because they come different ways. I think 11,400lbs is as much as you can get in a srw 4x4 truck.

Great site! Weight question for you guys. I need a different truck. I have an F250 now. Going to buy a new Designer 35RLTS in the next few days/weeks. Would a single rear wheel 1 ton with 3.73 gears 4x4 work? it is good for pulling a 15200# trailer (the 35RLTS says it weighs 15800# max capacity--11400# dry)Pin weight should be ok (figuring truck will weigh approx. 8000#),and truck GVW is 11400#... that would leave 3400# for the hitch. Am i thinking correctly here that it would work ok if i keep trailer weight down under 600# of max capacity??Trying to stay away from those duallies if possible.

Also, anyone use RV DIRECT to purchase their rigs? Their price is lower for a 2009 than i can find a 2008 here.What's the catch beside driving to Des Moines to get it? Thanks in advance for the info. Keep up the great work on this site!!

Congrats on the new rig. Have the Morryde on ours and wouldn't be without it. Suspension is great and I would get the pin box again. World of difference from a non-suspension pin box. You could try a couple of pulls with the regular pin box and see how you like it before changing.

Let us know how the PDI goes, and of course, we need PICs.

Welcome back Dave...

Finally, we made a deal, and I am pickipng up our new 35rlts up saturday. My question is, has anyone replaced their pin box? This one does not have the morryde pin box, and i want one. It has a dexter 7926 pin box on it, and I can not find where morryde makes one. I guess I will call twetys in the morning and ask. It does have the morryde suspension, how does everybody like these? I wonder if we will even need another pin box? THX for all replies.

PICTURES!!

mrbuck50, congrats on the soon to be new rig. Sure you will like it, as we really do ours. As L&MMUSIC said, lots of good reading on all the threads, some nice mods too. If it has a build date of Oct. 15, be ready to have it at the dealer by that date. Good luck, and we like pictures of the new rigs.:B

Welcome MrBuck50. There are two other threads that started long ago when most of us were anticipating the arrival of our rigs! check out Jayco Designer 35RLTS and Designer 35rlts-its home

You've got plenty more reading to do!!!!! Have fun and enjoy the anticipation!!!

Good day to all. I have been reading all of the posts related to the 35 RLTS. The wife and I are patiently awaiting the arrival of ours. It is SUPPOSED to be off the assembly line Oct. 15. I hope they are pretty close on that date. Anyway, I have been taking notes on the particular upgrades/changes that everyone has made. Just wondering if there are any others. I only read back to may on this thread. We will be fulltimers and this is our first 5th wheel. I wont be pulling it anywhere, as my job will pay for any moving that needs to be done. It is being delivered from Ashland, Ky. by a transport company.
Any and all questions/comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
