Without looking up the 295's floorplan, do you have a front pass through storage on this model?
As a comparison on the "dry tongue weight", our new Jayco has a listed 910lbs. Loaded (it has a front pass through) ready to camp minus the receiver hitch for the rear (on order-bolts to frame), bike rack and at least 2 bikes, my scaled tongue weight was 1400lbs.
As mentioned, you should check your truck mounted receiver hitch to see what max tongue weight is.
The best thing you can do is go visit the CAT Scales all loaded up ready to camp, and weigh 3 times.
1: Truck & trailer ready to go down the road.
2: Truck & trailer, but wd bars unhooked (in the bed)
3: Truck only.
Check back in with your numbers and we can figure your tw.
