Hey gang. New to the site, and surprisingly for being Canadian, new to RV'ing. Just buying a 2007 Jayco JayFeather 29D. GVW is 7050 lbs. My question for you experienced towers is this: I have a 2006 Chev Avalanche (don't judge me, normally I'm a Ford guy), it is the 5.3 V8 1500 and I am almost certain the gear ratio is the 4.10. What can you tell me about using this truck to pull my about to purchase 29' featherlight TT? Thanks for your wisdom!
So, according to Jayco's website, my TT (Jay Feather LGT 29D model) has a GVW of 7050 lbs and a dry weight of 5580 lbs. Their carrying capacity says 1470, which gives me the 7050 lbs total. I thought the dry weight was 7050 but that's the loaded weight... So it's lighter than I thought. Good news for my Avalanche 1500 for now...
I am thinking Reese dual cam, but my local Jayco dealership said I could get by with an standard equalizer pro series without the dual cam anti-sway... Hmmm... any thoughts?
