Jay Flight SLX 8 Tongue Weights

Any owners out there have real world tongue weights on the SLX 8 line? I know the figures given on Jayco's site are unrealistic. Interested in the 26 - 29 foot bunkhouse models to get an idea, but particularly the 294 models.

Really looking to find which of these models would fit into a hard 1000 pound tongue weight budget, limited by hitch. I'd probably travel with water tanks empty if that makes a difference.

Our 267 bunkhouse is 6750lbs loaded (tanks empty) and we weigh 879lbs at the tongue with full propane.

I tow a 265RLSW, 7500 lbs. loaded. My tow vehicle is a Ram Bighorn Crew cab 1500. It pulls it, but it is hard on the truck, takes it to its payload capacity. I'm considering going to a 2500, just an FYI because I know the bigger bunk houses weigh about the same as my 265.
