Mike, thank you for sharing your shopping experience and opinion on the comparable trailers. My wife and I had similar feelings about the GD but were a bit skeptical of the price jump. For now, I have the GD leading the pack, I just need to spend a few more weekends kicking tires.

Speaking of tires, combined payload weight for the TV is 1852 according to the tire sticker. GVWR is 7000, Front is 3375 and Rear is 3800.

I have the 3.5 screw with the middle gear ratio of 3.55. It is a 4x4 super crew short bed.

The Grand Design has a DW of 5785 and a HW of 574
The JayFlight has a DW of 6335 and a HW of 605 (odd)
The Mallard has a DW of 6450 and a HW of 644

Not wanting to get blasted again but my math says after deducting the weight of my family (550) and any camping gear (500-600), I would have enough left to handle the hitch weight of these trailers.

I know there is no escaping the blast mode, so enlighten me if I am way off.

Please also feel free to offer any opinion of the models I listed or any similar bunkhouse set ups.

Thank you

I'm not sure about the Jayflight and Mallard but when it comes to weight and the GD, the 5785 dry they quote online is average. Ours came in at 6204 with all of the options on it so make sure you check the weight sticker on the actual unit you look at. The price jump is something to think about but for us we are glad we went a a little over what we were originally planning. Plus if you negotiate well you may do okay. We came in at around 28% below MSRP plus we had them throw in the Blue Ox Sway Pro WDH.
