"Specs for 2013 Jayco - Jay Feather Ultra Lite
Floorplan: X17Z
Weight
Dry Weight
2,900 lbs.
Payload Capacity
600 lbs.
GVWR
3,500 lbs.
Hitch Weight
405 lbs."

I commend the OP for looking at a lighter trailer than most folks would have, gives the OP some breathing room in capacity without the need to scale everything before putting it in the trailer.
