That sounds about right. I realize that I don't get the whole weight. Just looking for actuals on a JX450. The layout of this trailer is really against you in a lot of ways. First, it's only a 10' garage, so not a lot of cantilever in the rear. Second, all the storage is up front.
DRV currently has 3 Fullhouse layouts. Two of them come in a dry pin weights around 3,300lbs. Unfortunately for us, the one we want comes in at 4,400 lbs. This starts to tip the scale on class III trucks, so looking to see just how bad reality is. I really don't want to make the leap to a HDT.
