Thanks. So I think that the my TT purchasing chronicle is about over. 2005 Jayco JayFlight 29FBS, 7000lb unladen weight, 8800lb GVWR. My Expy has a max tow of 8700, so w/ that being said, I believe that I am going to be ok towing & maneuvering this one with the weights being as they are.
What is the point of asking if you do not follow the advice?
Scroll up. 7k dry, 8000-8500 pounds loaded. Tongue weight will far exceed your receiver's ~900 pound limit. You will be over rear axle, GVWR, and receiver rating.
This guy started with a 700 pounds lighter RV and cannot make it work despite well under the tow rating.
