That tow vehicle looks completely overmatched by that trailer.

You need to send her back immediately for the 1 ton dually diesel!!

Here's how itchy I'm getting to start camping again. Our Jayco Eagle is in winter storage (inside a building at the local fairgounds since the last week of October)....it will be out the first week of April.

So...there is another poster on this board (Wiscampin IIRC?) who has the exact same 2008 Jayco Eagle 314 BHDS as we have..and he has a link to his webshots for people to look at.

The other day I had to click on his link just to look at his Eagle because it's exactly like ours. Haha!!
