Good Evening. A little background
My family usually spends about 3-4K every summer on accommodations for about a 20 day vacation on Vancouver Island and in Kelowna. In addition, my daughter usually travels the province for races in the summer. We went to local RV show this year and after giving it some thought, thinking that getting a Rv more be more economical in the long run, plus we own something at the end of paying it off.
We have a 2014 Ecodiesel ram 1500 with a tow limit of only 7650lbs. We are looking at Jayco white hawk with dry weight of approx 6k.
I am wondering what people's thoughts are on this combo. Thank you for any help.
Unfortunately most of the ecodiesel models have an very low payload... check inside your drivers door, should be sticker that states "total weight of passengers and cargo should never exceed xxxx lbs".... that's your payload.
The tongue weight of an RV counts against your payload. Check out the listed tongue weight, then add your passengers, and cargo weight.... see how much you have left over compared to the # on the door sticker.
