carringb / others:
I dont understand the 12,000 towing weight hitch configuration, which is the max offered by Reese/Drawtite for the E350, because when you go up to 12,000 from the 10,000 the max hitch weight drops from 1,500 down to 1,200 (both Drawtite and Reese) so what I gain in towing, I basically lose in the hitch weight.
I am looking at both Jayco JAY FLIGHT 33RBTS and ForestRiver Cherokee 304BH. The cherokee has a dry hitch weight of 12 percent (1,043 lbs) and loaded to the max, assuming that same 12 percent, means I can only get about 1,300 lbs of cargo on the trailer (trailer supports up to 2,481)
Fully loaded, is 12 percent a safe guess?
