I'd still be more comfortable with a heavier truck under the rig.
JamieGeek, the paperwork I have says Hitch Weight is 1690 so a little
variance from what you found. but then the factory catalogue I just
looked at shows 1980 lbs. 10315 lbs shipping weight and 2065 carring
capacity for a total of 14360 before you add propane and water.

Yes I know I can find a Dodge Ram 2500 with 17500 tow rate, but I
would feel better with the stouter 3500. But both would be SRW.
But since I will be buying second hand on both units we will just see
what I find for sale.
