Spotted this on the 265 loop last week.
Was having trouble getting a good shot while driving, but that's a late model 150 pulling a decent sized Jayco 5er. Note that he is passing me and traveling with his buddy up ahead. Both had Ontario plates so assume they were headed back north.
The 5er is the Eagle HT Lightweight, here is the model on Jayco's site.
Specs:
Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) 7,170
Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) 1,325
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) 9,950
Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) 2,780
MEASUREMENTS
Exterior Travel Length (Pin box to bumper) 29'
Total Exterior Length 29' 11"
Exterior Width 96"
Exterior Height with A/C 146-1/2"
Wheel Base 227"
