I had a 36' DRV that weighed 18-19K and I do know the Champagne's are VERY heavy so I would quell at a minimum 19k. They are full timers. at 15 percent pin that would be 2,850# but I would say closer to 20 percent at 3,800#.
Polite is where it's at. Personally I would appreciate someones comments as long as they were civil.
What is ironic is that my 2014 2500 with its higher axle ratings, higher GCWR, higher tow rating, upgraded front suspension, upgraded rear axle, upgraded frame, dual radiators, and dual transmission coolers is more capable of pulling that trailer than his 2010-12 3500. Yet, some here think that just because he has a "3" on his door then it has to be more capable.
His 2010-2012 3500 specs
My 2014 2500 specs
The only thing that is lower is the payload and GVWR due to the max 10k GVWR rating of the class my 2500 is in and because my truck is about 500 lbs heavier.
