Well, we ended up buying the Jayco Jay Flight 33BHTS instead, they made me a deal on it that was just way better than the Eagle and it's the same floor plan. They had the equalizer hitch (14k version) in stock at a good price so I'm going to try it for now since it's easy and if I don't like it then I'll go with something different later.
This camper is a little lighter than the Eagle by about 200 pounds and it appears to all be in the tongue weight b/c the listed tongue weight on this camper is 880 pounds instead of 1075 like the Eagle. Either of those may be low though b/c they are both much heavier on overall weight per the yellow sticker than what is listed on the specs on the website-due to the options installed.
I'll get it home with the equalizer and hit the Cat scales for some weighing and find out what the actual weights are and go from there on whether or not to upgrade the truck receiver and/or the WDH.
