Re: Weighing a Class C
Thanks for all the good information! I’ve been looking at the Greyhawk 29MV floorplan and thought it looked fairly balanced out, but was interested in what the weight difference might be for the sides. I asked a salesman, who called Jayco for me, then I called Jayco, but we never got a number. Only bit of information we could get from Jayco was that a ‘top engineer’ said it was very close, but wouldn’t share what the numbers were. When I bought my 5th wheel I also found that the closest CAT Scale to me wouldn’t allow enough space on the sides to get only partly on the scale and a local landscape company’s scale was also on a platform. Thus, I’d hadn’t weighed my 5th wheel for the side to side difference, but then I had the weight numbers from the manufacturer and just always tried to balance it out when loading up. Just thought it was a simple question....until I asked it. Lol So again, thanks for the replies and the information. A 200 pound difference was about what I would’ve of guessed and would hope for on this particular C.285Views0likes0CommentsWeighing a Class C
Has anyone weighed their Class C for the side to side weight difference? Did anyone who bought a Class C get a Vehicle Weight Information sheet that included the rt. side and lt. side weights? I ask as I got this information when I bought my 5th wheel, but trying to get this information on a 2018 Jayco Greyhawk seems to be a state secret.1.3KViews0likes6CommentsRe: fifth wheel hooking up guides

Head in the center of the head rest and watch the mirror. Perfect line up every time. When the pole is knocked over, get out and make the final height adjustment with the landing gear. Back in the last foot. Hitched. I do the same. I get out and check it a few times to make sure I'm at the correct height. Works pretty good!465Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th wheel and tonneau cover

A concern is whether or not I would have to remove my "BakFlip G2" tonneau cover to accommodate the 5th wheel hitch in the 6' p/u bed. The BakFlip has 4 approx 18" sections that fold back on themselves and the last section nearest the truck folds up against the back window and anchors with a bracket on each side. Wondering if others have kept their folding tonneau cover on their trucks by folding it out of the way successfully or if they just removed it because it was a hassle. I want to have my cover when we are camped and doing our day trips to be able to store stuff safely and out of the weather. I have this bed cover and just fold up the sections needed to expose the hitch when towing. No need to fold all the way up to the window. I do the same. Once unhooked and set up, I put my cover back down. Works fine for me.573Views0likes0Comments
