After nearly 3 months I've finally gotten my hitch installed and chased down a brake controller pigtail for which I had to drive out of town (160 miles r/t) and purchase it. I've had a 2015 Jayco 19XUD since new, which is a good size camper. (I do plan on selling it and going smaller).
With Hybrids extended, it's 26 feet. Spec sheet says it weight 3360 empty and 380 tongue weight. The real weight with options is 3600 empty and around 390 tongue. To reduce weight to Model Y limits I removed the propane tank, battery (replaced with a small UPS sealed battery for breakaway switch) and spare tire. Also emptied everything and even hot water tank water. Got it hooked up level with no weight distribution hitch or sway bar and took it for a 50 mile tow.
The Model Y towed it very well. Plenty of power, no sway, good track and decent ride. Given that the unit is right at towing weight limits and large (poor aerodynamics), it did poorly on range. Having towed just under 50 miles it used more than 150 miles of range. That puts the no reserve tow range under 100 miles.
