For Experienced 1/2 Ton 5'ers
Thinking of buying a Jayco 26.5RLS with 6,845 lbs UVW and 1,285 lbs pin weight. I'd like to get a properly equipped 1/2 ton to move it up down the east coast because of the ride and the cost. I'm in...

We tow the Jayco Eagle H 23.5 with the Ram 1500 Hemi 4X4 Quad Cab
The 5th wheel dry weight is 5900 lbs, yellow sticker 6500 and loaded at scales 6800
Turns out pin weight is 1360 and not 1150 as advertised dry.
Having said that.... The truck does great and if we were to do it again, we'd go bigger with same truck, not by much but I wouldn't let a few pounds turn me away from the HT RLS like the one you are looking at.
We added Timbrens instead of airbags and they perform great, no airing up or down to do.
We've been down to Nova Scotia and PEI from Ontario as well as to the Outerbanks of North Carolina in the windy ( at the time) PA hills
