WHAT ONE COSTS
$46,300est. used (2016, 10 yr old)

Sticker was $85,663 in 2015. Out of production since 2016, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2016 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~14,191 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 12,524 lb + fresh water (104 gal, full) 867 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around15,770 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)15,500 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,930 lb (21%)
Cargo capacity2,976 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 19 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the RF39JE's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

CrossRoads (Mixed tier): CrossRoads' short-lived luxury fifth wheel, built 2011-2016 first under DS Corp and then Keystone - aluminum-framed laminated walls, 12 in I-beam and 7,000 lb axles were competitive, but the line changed floorplan naming twice in six years and vanished, so parts and resale support are thin.
