Well, it happened just last weekend. Took my wife to the RV Show locally & we both fell in love with a 2014 Windjammer 3029W TT. Now I do not want to have to upgrade my 2010 Titan truck if we do decide to trade up to this new unit. What do you think? Here are the specs:
Truck: Nissan Titan SE - Max Tow: 9,400 lbs; Max Payload: 1914 lbs.
Trailer: Windjammer (V-Nose) - 34'11" L; 6345 lbs. Dry Wt; 971 lbs.
Hitch Wt.
Are you sure about the weight specs?
This web site shows dry hitch weight = 1102#, dry weight = 7285#, CCC = 1563#.
If the dry weight is 7285# and depending on how you load, the TT might have a loaded weight of 8500#.
A reasonable value for loaded tongue weight might be around 1300#. What is the receiver's maximum tongue weight rating?
A tongue weight of 1300# with WD applied could cause a trailer-induced load of 1050# to be added to the TV.
Assuming a WDH weight of 100#, that leaves about 750# of TV payload capacity for occupants and cargo.
It looks as though you'll be pretty close to the TV's GVWR and the GCWR.
To be sure you know the actual available TV payload, you should load the TV as it would be loaded for camping and get it weighed.
Then you can subtract that weight from the TV's GVWR and know how much payload you have for WDH and trailer-induced load.
