Re: Towing question
thanks Jerry, Thats what I was thinking too. That particular Jayco trailer doesn't have a slide out which I think is why the weight is lower. I am not a big fan of the slides personally, (I like the idea of being able to access the whole trailer without having to slide parts Out) My wife likes the idea of a slide for the extra room.. Maybe have to give this a bit more thought.. Can't afford to but a truck and a trailer at the same time.. thanks again582Views0likes0CommentsTowing question
Hi there, I have a question in regards to towing. Currently we have a 5000 lbs travel trailer (loaded) (23 feet long)and tow it with a 2010 GMC sierra 1500, 4.8L with a towing capacity that I think is 5500lbs. I can pull this trailer without issue and pulled it 7800 kms last summer through the mountains in BC. We really want to upgrade our camper to a bunk model but with the lower towing capacity of our truck almost need to buy a new truck with the floor plans we looked at. I did find one from Jayco though that has all the features we like that weighs in at 4615 lb dry but has a total loaded weight of 6500 lbs. My question is, if we always make sure the water, black and grey tanks are empty can I assume we can safely tow this camper?? thanks3KViews0likes14Comments
