Swear my last question not. TT weight
Ok I'm looking at Jayco jay flight 32' fully load its 9000lbs. My truck can tow up to 8500lbs. I know I'll never fully load it. Would you buy it or stay clear of it?

I am looking for a smaller trailer,just to camp in, to tow without a WD setup meaning I want to stay in the 4-5K range which includes most 24-25 ft trailers without a slide.Just saw an older 24ft that was 3900 empty putting it around 5K loaded for a trip.
There are exceptions though.IMHO the older trailers are heavier than the newer ones at the same length because of the new RV craze sweeping the nation and tow vehicle compatibility.Light weight sells!
I do not whole heatedly agree with the manufacturer tow ratings because,as an example: A newer F-150 ford can be rated to almost 12K towing capacity while some older F-350 Dually's were only rated at 10K.There not even close to the same in the real world!
