Diesel32,
Welcome to the Jayco forums!
Yep, your TV won't be an issue...., and you'll also find the following reply will basically echo everything that "Crabman" stated.
The 1,200lb rated WDH will give you ideal loaded tongue weight support up to the GVWR of 7,500lbs without being an overkill. I concur that you could get away with a 1,000lb rated WDH, but IMO if you tend to be a heavy packer, and/or have to tow with some fluids in the tanks the 1,000lb rated WDH could become less than ideal under these conditions.
Since the 29BHS is almost 31ft long, a 13% to 15% loaded tongue weight (% of loaded TT weight) range would be recommended.
Example:
* Your 29BHS loaded to 7,500lbs (GVWR) = 975lb to 1,125lb loaded tongue weight range.
* Your 29BHS loaded to 7,000lbs = 910lb to 1,050lb loaded tongue weight range.
* Your 29BHS loaded to 6,500lbs = 845lb to 975lb loaded tongue weight range.
IMO the 6,500lb loaded TT weight would be the minimum loaded weight for the 29BHS, not including fluids in any of the tanks.
Here are some of the '07' 29BHS weight specs/capacities in case you don't haven them:
Weights:
Unloaded Vehicle Weight 5,425 (lbs.)
Dry Hitch Weight 765 (lbs.)
Gross Vehicle Weight 7,500 (lbs.)
Cargo Carrying Capacity 2,075 (lbs.)
Measurements:
Exterior Length 30' 6"
Exterior Height with A/C 124"
Bedroom Interior Height 81"
Tank Capacities:
Fresh Water Capacity (includes water heater) 59 (gals.)
Gray Wastewater Capacity 33 (gals.)
Toilet/Black Wastewater Capacity 33 (gals.)
You can upgrade the standard Reese WDH with the optional Reese HP Dual Cam kit if you don't want to purchase it as a total package deal.
