Cargo carrying capacity. Consider it payload for a trailer.

^ Yup. The 28BHBE has crazy high Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) in comparison, and I assume it's partially because of the extra water capacity, but that only accounts for about 250 lbs difference (~40 gals vs ~80 gals FW capacity, or one tank vs two tanks). The BHBE also has more amenities like a solid sliding shower door, and some other trimmings that add weight, but most of that is still counted in the "empty weight" listed on Jayco website. So really the practical weight from a usage standpoint is largely determined by what the end user puts into it. You might save a little with 20 lb tanks vs 30 lb tanks, but that's not much...
Just stream of thought here, thinking about weights and what not...

Are you seriously towing that 287BHSW with a 4.6L Tundra? How's that going so far?

Tundra has no problem to tow the trailer, it stays at 2200rpm most of the time at 65, will go to 3600 rpm on hills, it has 4.1 rear differential made for towing, usually leave it in tow/haul mode, getting 10-11 mpg towing and 16mpg empty, have 30 000 miles- no issues whatsoever, had ford 3500 7.3 power stroke , Chevy 6.0 2500, nothing but expensive issues, tundra feels very solid as a tow vehicle, I was surprised myself, towed from NJ to South Carolina and back this fall, love the truck

Also the truck is a pure stock, except for the brake controller

What are the specs on the truck just out of curiosity? GVWR, available payload, GCVWR, etc. and engine power specs. I'm assuming it has a 6 speed transmission since it's so new, and that would help explain how such a small engine could manage such a large trailer. I'm sure those 4.10's help too. Good to hear it's working for you, just very surprising on first impressions.

It is rated to tow 8100, payload is over 1300, most of the stuff , I put in the trailer , tongue weight is around 800, which leaves 500 for my wife and I , it is pretty close , that is why I didn't get 28bhbe, just from the legal prospective , I wanted to stay within manufactures' specifications

It is 6speed with tow/haul mode, u can feel the difference towing, it keeps rpm higher, shifts quicker and uses engine braking downhill

Goes to show you how far technology has come in the automotive industry. Apparently the new smaller displacement V8's are making the same power as the older larger displacement ones. Mind you, it takes a whole lot of RPM's to make that power, but impressive nonetheless. Glad you're having good results.

Harleyman, your trailers AC is built with a heat option, I just installed a heat strip-Coleman Mach electric heat kit/strip 9233A4551, the AC selector knob has two low fan positions, the first one is designed for a low heat, when you buy the kit , it comes with a replacement knob marked low heat in a first position, very easy to install, take down bothAC knobs and unscrew the cover, the heat strip will go behind the marked metal flange, then it is plugged in a plastic heat connector, there is only one for this option, don't expect hot air coming out of the registers though, it is warm at its best, it is not design to warm up TT in winter, more like a chilly summer morning option, might work together with a portable electric heater after the temperature is brought up to a desired level by a gas furnace to save on gas, thought that you might be interested

Hey thanks for the heads up, will this keep the trailer worm like the gas would? or will this need a supplement yet.

Question for the OP.
Did you install the underbelly cover yourself or did you have the RV service department handle that ?
