Nearly committed for a 2012 Jayco Jayfeather Ultralight 197, One Question....
I only have one question... I have a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder with the 5.6L V8. Factory Specs are 7000lbs towing/700lb tongue wt.
This particular 197 weighs 3777lbs including propane. I am having them install an original "equal-i-zer" brand WD/anti sway hitch at my dad's suggestion.
Is this a good setup? We live in Colorado, so there are a few hills around.. But this is the reason the PF has a V8 and not a V6.
you'll get more opinions here, it'll make your head spin %-)
I was told that you want at least 1000lbs between what your Tow Vehicle is rated for, and the fully loaded weight of your TT.
The 197 is rated for 4750lbs fully loaded (tongue weight is 455lbs, but that's probably done at empty weight, I'm guessing you'll be close to 600lbs fully loaded). Your fresh water, if full, would be 175-200 lbs of that. That would give you 1250-1500 lb capacity in your Nissan (It's probably not rated for that much ;-).
You should be fine IMO when you put all the weight distribution stuff on.
