Driving too fast...

How about the way the manufacturer designates their models, and how ordinary RVers refer to their rigs, and those of others?? Look, it was referred to as a 33 ft, which most RV owners use as the reference to their model and the box length. Its likely safe to assume that's what Jopopsy was referring to, not that he drug out a tape measure to measure down the whole unit, including tongue length. My 34SS Seneca is actually 35'6" long bumper to bumper. It's typical in the industry. So, your reliance on obscure technical references is a bit ridiculous. And, frankly, your attitude here is a bit trollish, judging by your snarky answers to several people here.

Don't be argumentive, as that might get you tossed out on your ear. Be nice.

Your own 28DSBH is, lo and behold, 28 ft long at the box. That ought to provide a minor clue.

I gave you practical examples where the total length of the trailer matters. I really do not care that much how ordinary RVers refer to their rigs. I gave you also an example that a long trailer does not mean that TW needs to be >1,000 lbs.

I like to discuss facts not assumptions. If you do not like that, that's fine. Have a good weekend.

Is that the actual one? So, it is 33 ft overall length or so, but still well over 9k lbs loaded with water, food, clothing, and gear. So, we're back where we started, in that the recommended tongue weighting of 12-15% leaves your neighbor with a tongue weight between 1152 and 1440. That ain't good on a TV with a 1300 lb payload. Will it pull it up a hill? Of course, as long as he doesn't get in a hurry. But that's only one of the factors, as many have mentioned here. Braking, stability in cross-winds, panic stops, even just a semi rig blowing by coming the opposite direction on a two-lane highway, potholes, bridges, etc. It's all a factor at some point.

But the salesman said it'd be fine. I'll bet a dozen donuts the neighbor comes home with a new 1-ton diesel pickup before long.

I bet that guy will take 2,500 lbs cargo for camping.

If you all worried a little less about what everyone else is towing or what they're towing with or how fast they're towing or etc. etc. etc., this forum would be a lot more enjoyable. Take a deep breath, realize that we are all free to make our own decisions, and relax already. Life is too short to get so worked up over someone else's business.

I kept it between 60 and 65 most of the time. I'm retired... and no need to rush...

Hurrying is undignified.

I've been a jayco looking-loo for awhile. Probably two years from having the time to really enjoy it. But we travel a lot, and I see a lot of vehicles driving well in excess of the 65 mph recommended safe speed. I cannot image that most tires should be run higher than 65. And many are being towed on delivery runs. So how much damage is done to an RV that is being hauled to a dealer at 70-80MPH? I see so many damaged trailers while visiting lots, my first thoughts were poor manufacture ... now I'm wondering if the damage is rather being caused during the delivery run.

He is scared to tell anyone, this has come up before with this poster bashing everyone else about their setups and he knows more than anyone else.
