Yes, I agree. When I do the math:
dry hitch weight = 1055
trailer dry weight = 7880
= 13%
Now, load the trailer to the max at 9950 and x by 13% = 1,332. Add a hitch at 100 lbs, and total is 1432.
The 815lb weight I quoted was from Jayco's site for 2013.
X3!
Our '16- 32 BHDS has a "brochure" tw of 910lbs, with a loaded, ready to travel tw of 1400lbs. Give or take a little as a couple things have changed since I weighed the rig.
