Newbee, 1st 5th Wheel and truck

Our 1st RV is a 2008 Class C Jayco GrayHawk GS, 31' with Ford 450 V10. Has less than 30,000 miles on it. Used it about 4 times in about 5 years (for sale).
Our new RV is a Jayco Eagle 317RLOK, 36' 5th wheel; tow vehicle is a Chevy 2500HD, 4X4. Biggest truck and biggest tow load I've ever had, and 1st 5th wheel!!

Nice 5th wheel and truck combo!

Load them up....camp ready (fuel/passengers/stuff in truck...trailer loaded ready to camp) and head to a CAT Scale to get all your weights
Truck/trailer combo
Drop trailer in parking lot
Truck only (reweigh)

With the 2 weight tickets you will be able to check actual weights vs GVWR, Axle Weight Ratings, Tire load ratings etc

5th wheel PIN wet weight is carried by trucks rear axle
Trailer has a 12,995 GVWR so with a 22% wet pin truck rear axle/tires will be carrying an extra 2800#
Truck has a 6390# RAWR so should be good but better to KNOW actual weights

Enjoy that truck and 5vr!!

Didn't get the 317

The truck is a 2022 Chevy 2500HD gas, like yours Doss; ours is white.
Also, we haven't sold the house yet, so buying the 317 is not happening. Still have the Greyhawk motorhome (with Ford 350) and the truck.
