I tow my 20' jet boat with mine, it weighs about 4000lbs including the trailer.
The only problem with this is the length of the boat and truck camper, I think I am over 50'.
I am maxed out on GVWR with the boat. My total weight with bat is 18,200.
I added a front hitch to take a little weight off the rear axle.
Front axle is 4850, rear axle is 9000, carry about 30 gallons of water.
Without the boat the camper/truck is much easier to get around.
With a North-South bed, they must have done away with the huge wardrobe in the front and moved it to the side.
I think the wardrobe will hold all the clothes I own, I don't need that much space.
Mine came with an 26" LED TV, that runs off of AC or DC, and has a built in DVD.I usually run the TV and Blu-ray off a 1500 watt inverter that Host installed in the basement.
Yes, I like the jacks, they came with a wireless remote and a wired remote that has a jack in generator compartment.
The only real problem I have had that wasn't self inflicted was I tore off the awning switch when pulling in the rear slide.
I put that slide in at least 50 times with no problem, but once I was off kilter a little and the slide wobbled a little at the wrong time and hit the awning switch.
If you notice, the clearance between the valance and the switch is only 1/4" as the valance passes the switch. Host is going to off set the valance to the other side when I stop by this June.
If I had it to do over again, I would not get the awning. I have never used it it 3 years. I have extended it a couple of times at home, just to see if it works.
