Hey everyone, happy Easter.
Well the easter bunny came early and dropped off my new Jayco 29ft Travel Trailer. I was wondering if anyone else has attempted to pull something this size with our Armada's?
I have the 29ft Jayco Jay Flight (29BHS). Weighs in at 5600lbs empty. I towed it home today with a 30 plus mph wind and it handled well. I have a Reese class V weight distribution hitch with the class V cam type sway control.
I know it will do well, but here is the interesting part. The owner of the place where I bought it was having a hissy fit that I wanted to pull this trailer with a Nissan Armada. I almost walked out on this A$$ (had I not paid for it 3 months ago). He said the wheelbase is too short and wasn't going to be responsible for my actions.
I am sorry, the wheel base is almost identical to a Dodge Ram 1500. I don't think he had a clue as to what a Armada was let alone it's towing capabilities. Thanks for letting me vent, now its off to more adventures with the Armada and my new "home".
Hasta la vista, baby....
