Went to see the 2016 Jayco M-24RKS. Very nice unit. People showed me their two year scrapbook of travels. Many miles on TT no blow outs matching original tires. So not sure about it being under tired or axel?
This is a crazy nice TT for the price. But larger than I wish. Leads me into my next question? See post. Hitch weight? Compare?

Trigger warning!
Max tow weight of a truck usually means nothing in the world of TTโs. The payload sticker on your truck matters.
The tongue weight of that particular TT will approach 800 pounds or more. With WD, you are getting up to 900 pounds taken away from the payload of your truck.
In addition, with a cargo capacity of less than 1300 pounds, according to brochure weights which are almost always smaller than actual weights, the suspension of that camper is going to be close to maxed out when you load it up.
My kids bought a similar camper. They have had a lot of tire problems. It has the same suspension that our 1500 pound lighter Dart has. Personally, I would want a minimum of 2000 pound cargo capacity. Just to have some breathing room.
My $.03, anyway.

Thanks for the info and education. It does come with weight distribution hitch, I meant to say that.
Yep, marathons stick on boat trailers, too. Thanks for the tire note. I am not looking for tire or towing issues, thus my over bearing questions here. I am to look at the TT tomorrow,. Not to know what to think about tongue weight and cargo rating? Thanks for your thoughts GrandpaKip. I have 4 to 6 months before we will begin to camp, so this camper may go down as a learning curve.

I am looking at a 29 ft. 5700# TT to be towed with. 2016 Ram5.7 crew 3.92 rear end, tow up to 10,200#โs. It will have a sway bar set up.
Anything to focus on different towing this larger rig? Or is it just put it n the wind and consintrate as we go down the road. Trailer is used with newer good year tires.
