Hello from Denver, Colorado
Glad to find this forum  . I'm looking at getting a 2019 Keystone Impact 311 next weekend so I joined to do some brand research and get some user opinions.

Wild Temp Swing!
Welcome to the forum!
Talked with my brother in Arvada last night. He said the temperature went from (like) 93 on Monday to about an inch of snow on Tuesday/Wednesday. Crazy weather - wish I was there!

Welcome from W TX! How's the weather. Was just talking to a buddy that said he figured he would be shoveling snow yesterday I think it was, when the front came through (Aurora).

Thanks! I will try with my 2018 F-250 6.7L, SuperCab, 4x4, 3.55. Still having as to whether it's going to manage, but I've got a big family so I have no other choice)))

Thanks) Not so much for the shoveling, but the weather is still quite nasty...

JohnW, here's what I see on weights for that trailer:
Weight:
Dry Weight 11,695 lbs.
Payload Capacity 5,085 lbs.
GVWR 16,780 lbs.
Hitch Weight 2,780 lbs.
The dry weight and pin weight listed will never exist in the real work. Those weights are at the factory, jo batteries, no propane tanks, jo spare tire. The published "hitch weight" is based on that empty weight. You stated you have "a large family" so I'm guessing you'll be closer to that GVWR of 16,700 lbs.
The pin weight is generally 20% of the actual weight of the trailer. So .20 X 16,700 =3,340 pin weight. To that, add the weight of the hitch. I seriously doubt that a 3/4 ton diesel will have anywhere near that payload capacity. And that isn't even factoring in you, your " large family", and all the stuff you put in the truck. You are going to be extremely overweight and IMHO endangering your family.
That size rig is a 1 ton required truck min. Not raining on your parade here just want you to be safe and aware of where your at. Look at the driver's door pillar with the yellow/white tire inflation label. It will have "The combined weights of occupants and cargo shall not exceed xxxx lbs." That's your trucks maximum load capacity. Post a pic of that label and we can give you precise calculations.

Yes, that was crazy. Colorado already fluctuates drastically but that was one for the books.
