Frequently asked
Why does the Eddie Bauer 3511RK cost $15K more?
It's brand premium pricing - the Eddie Bauer license and styling partnership add cost not tied to documented features. On hard spec, the Jayco Eagle 370FBTS delivers more for less.
Is NuvoH20 worth specifying?
For full-time use across varying campground water quality, yes. NuvoH20 is a salt-free water softener that reduces scale buildup in plumbing and appliances, extending appliance life significantly.
Both need what truck?
Both are 14,000-14,300 lb GVWR with 2,300+ lb hitch weights. Both require a 1-ton truck (F-350, 3500) for safe payload margin. Well-equipped 3/4-tons can handle them but with thin margin.
