First time 5ver
Posted this to Forest River forum but wanted to get your feedback as well. So after 4 years in our BH TT we have decided that we want to upgrade. We have looked at about 100 units in the last week ...

Okay. So this weekend was the RV show here in Fort Worth, Texas. We went thru about 1200 units online trying to find a happy middle. Again I want your opinions:
2016 Evergreen Bay Hill 379FL Dry 12794 Pin 2390
2016 F.R. Sierra 378FB Dry 12455 Pin 2096
2016 Palomino Columbus 375RL Dry 12824 Pin 2545
2016 Palomino Columbus 381FL Dry 12781 Pin 2369
Let me hear it...............
D@mn, Charles. How many times do you have to hear, "don't pay attention to the dry weights; only look at GVW?" What's the GVW on each of these? Take 20-25% of that number and see if you have the payload to handle it. Yes, I =know= that you're unlikely to hit the GVW...BUT, that's the only numbers you have to work with, unless you can find the exact model and get real-world weights. Yes, I =know= that the newer trucks have a lot more payload than my older truck, but not =that= much! All of those are, IMO, solidly in 350/3500 territory.

LOL...I have nothing to go off of except that. Your telling me that a unit with a documented dry weight of 12.3k and one with a dry weight of 13k, both GVWR of 16 are gonna be the exact same? That doesn't make sense to me.
