Avalanche 2500 + 31 ft Jayco Eagle Question
Hi All, First time poster here. My wife and I are in the process of a major upgrade from a small 21' non slide tin and sticks Coachmen (being towed by a GMC Acadia), to a brand new 31' Jacyo Eagle ...

Well I guess I'll be the one to be go against the grain. Tongue weight on that will be every bit of 1500LBS. Not that the truck won't handle it in general but, that combined with a shorter wheel base personally, I think you'll find the towing experience less than desirable. Overall length of your camper is close to 38 ft !
I have virtually the same camper and my last TV was a 2005 2500HD. I put thousands of miles on that combo and never got it dialed in right.
My 32BHDS was sitting at 1380LBS on the tongue with two empty LP tanks. Jayco's published weights are VERY conservative, as I've said on here many times.
Reese DC with 1500LB springs bars no less is the hitch I'd go with if you decide to pull the trigger.
Not if it properly loaded and setup! It should be around 1250lbs. +\-
