Jayco vs keystone passport Grand Touring
Hey Guys. We're new to the travel trailer world and could really use some advice. We're looking for the best quality Ultra Lite possible that has a sofa, bunk beds and dinette. It has to be around 5300 lbs. dry because apparently we're somewhat limited with our tow vehicle (Chevy Tahoe w/ max tow package). we're looking at the Jayco 25bh jay feather http://www.keystonerv.com/passport/models/2670bh/model-mobile And the Keystone Passport grand touring 2670bh http://www.keystonerv.com/passport/models/2670bh/model-mobile Plan to have this for at least 10-12 yrs and really looking for the best quality given our requirements. Is there one you guys think is preferrable? Another brand or model? Thanks for the advice.7.2KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Help Needed to pair new Tahoe w/ TT
I'm conflicted about this wheelbase issue because I've read on other pages/ forums that It isnt really an issue at all. Not to discount what soundguy is saying but I'm so new to this its difficult to know whether its sufficient of a concern to change the TT. Whats the consensus? Will a good hitch resolve it?313Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help Needed to pair new Tahoe w/ TT
Unfortunately getting a truck isnt an option. This is going to be the wife's grocery car. It has to be an SUV and the tahoe seems to be the most bang for the buck. I'm concerned about the wheelbase issue. If we get a good anti-sway hitch, will that improve the situation?313Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help Needed to pair new Tahoe w/ TT
Thanks to everyone who has posted and all the great info (Soundguy and JnJnKatiebug you guys were especially helpful). I found another TT brand/model that we like and was hoping you would all chime in on this one too: the Passport Elite Grand Touring 2670BHWE. Dry weight is around 5200 lbs. Exterior length is still a bit long at 30'4". hitch weight is 624. That does everyone think? still too big? which hitch would you recommend? Thanks again313Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help Needed to pair new Tahoe w/ TT
Wow thanks for all the awesome feedback. We really like both the TT and TV but definitely dont want to do snything that can be dangerous. Definitely wont be completely accurate but Foubd info from this: http://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/tahoe/2016.tab1.html the curb weight is 5466 lbs The payload is 1702 lbs. Gvwr: is 7100 lbs Assuming the loaded weight is 7800# and tongue weight is right around the 1k point. Still a no go? Thanks359Views0likes0Comments
