Hello all,
Does anbody have information on Rockwood moving there axles back?  I am in the middle of purchasing a Rockwood 8317ss tt.  The original brochure says that the tongue weight is 821lbs.,  however my dealer says that the new brochure says 1111lbs.  Supposedly they moved the the axles backward, this does make sense, however for an ultralite camper this seems extreme.
Dealer says that I should have no problem towing with an 08 chevy crewcab shortbox 4x4 w/ a 5.3 and 3.73 rear.  The hitch also has me a bit worried.  It has the factory tube style class 3 hitch.    I am using a draw-tite trunnion setup w/ 1200lb.  arms.  Do you have any advice, we are suppose to pick this unit up in 2 weeks.  Thanks

Greg
