Took the plunge new 34RSBS | 2018 JAY FLIGHT

We have been owners of a 2014 248RBS since 10/13. Well wife and I wanted a bit more room. So we just signed all of the paperwork on this beast 34RSBS | 2018 JAY FLIGHT. Was wonder if anyone is towing one. I ordered the largest equalizer wsd hitch at the dealer when we left today. Will be towing with a 3/4 ton GMC. Give me your thoughts please

Thank you. We needed more space. Spend more and more time at the trailer or staging it somewhere

We love our Beast, also have the 2018 34 RSBS, We tow with 3/4 ton silveradoHD(gas). Even though it wasnt noticeably sagging, we added airbags to the truck suspension and it made a difference in the bounce. Added shelves behind the TV for additional pantry space . Gas mileage is deplorable, 6 mpg with any kind of hill. But we absolutely love the trailer. Congratulations and Enjoy!!

How does it tow? Our set up will be about the same. 2016 2500 GMC Sierra HD gasser. Any sway? Hitch will be equalizer 14000/1400. Picking up Friday.
First trip is about 300 miles.

Towing has been no problem, Hubby says he cant even feel it behind the truck. We are in NY, and have been all over this summer, Adirondack mts, Assateague State park in Maryland, and just got back from North Carolina.

Enjoy!

I have a 2013 34RSBS that I tow with a heavy duty 1/2 ton truck. The farthest campground we go to is less than 100 miles and it is mostly flat highway. I have had several campers and (for it's size) this camper tows better than any I've owned. You will have no problems towing with a 3/4 ton truck.
