Wow! Great info guys. I feel better now.The trailer I really like is a jayco eagle that comes in at 9105lbs dry with a dry pin weight of 2090. I really liked the quality for the price and the layout. Just thought it may be too heavy on the pin weight. I do not want to tax the truck nor myself with an overloaded beast. I may have to go the airbag route since I do not have the camper package.
Just bear in mind that the dry truck and dry camper weights are significantly less than what gets added in stuff. You're likely looking at an 11,000 pound trailer once it's ready to go. For instance, my camper has an advertised dry weight of 11,800 and an actual scaled weight of 13,800 (more likely 14,000 or a little more as the season goes on).
I liked donn's suggestion of getting your truck weighed and then do the math from there.
