I double checked the Jayco website and it actually says that the Whitehawk 32dsbh has a CC of 1610. Wouldn't we be able to keep about 1,000 lbs in our van if payload is 2,315 lbs? I know my family won't get over 600 lbs. combined, a full gas tank from my google search would be about 168 lbs...we would have a payload of about 1,768 lbs. (with maxed out gas and passenger weight). We are taking the entire 4th row out and I'm not sure the exact weight but I'm betting it's around 150 lbs or more. Wouldn't that compensate for the lower carrying capacity of the TT?
You forgot about the TTs tongue weight. It counts as payload.
It will be around 950-1050lbs after loaded for camping.
1000lbs for gear in the van
600lbs for passengers
1000lbs for tongue weight
2600lbs added towards the payload. You'll be over the 2315lbs payload rating.
