2005 Jayco Jay flight 31bhs vs 2004 K2500 Suburban 6.0 3.73

I am going to look at a 2005 31 BHS tonight at a private party distressed sale. I could easily flip it a dealer retail or keep it for use.
How do you think my 2004 K2500 Suburban 6.0 3.73 combo would fare in this battle?
I have enough payload 2351lbs,1200lb wdh, but may exceed the tow rating (7600lbs) by a few 100's of pounds.
  • I checked out the TT tonight. Only structural check, sealants, walked the roof, and pushed up and down everywhere. Solid unit. Has dual 6 volt battery bank, custom rear bumper/hitch, and ok manual awning. Entry door was damaged by a tree and needs either to be replaced or bondo repaired. Has maxxis load range D all around, and does not come with a hitch. PO used it a seasonal or attempted to and never got the chance to do it. No visible TPO roof damage, 13500 AC, oven, and front diamond plate options. Will try to offer $6,000 based off a full systems check, and will need to unload the hybrid: anywhere between $8K and $10K.
