Standard pin box and I have only pulled a few miles but it is smooth and quite.

Airbags?

Our unit does not have the washer/dryer but it does have the Onan 5500 generator.
Looking this photo I'm thinking air bags may be in my future, what do you think?
YES......

On the 34RL2 plus the generator you are probably 600+ pounds heavier on the pin than I am with the 34RE without washer/dryer or generator. I am just fine with my 2500 RAM Mega-Cab. Picture is fully loaded for a 14 day trip. Not sure why your 3500 seems to squat more. Leaf springs versus coil? Would not expect that. Plus you have note loaded your stuff in it yet. You might want them.

OOh, great lookin' rig!

Got the new 34RL2 down to the CAT Scales today and here are the results:

Pin weight: 2915 (includes Onan 5.5K generator in front compartment)
5th wheel: 12,975 but it is not fully loaded, only a couple hundred lbs. of our stuff. The dry weight on pin box is 12,310.
Combined: 21,280

The good news is that with my RAM 3500 4x4, I still have 440 lbs of payload left; but I expect the pin weight to increase some as I get fully loaded.

Thanx for the follow-up data! We are anxiously looking forward to taking delivery of our coach sometime in February if you can believe a salesman. Will check with the factory next month to confirm. Here is to a safe and Happy New Year!

A couple weeks late, but we got the rig weighed today.

Empty truck weight: With trailer:
Front axle: 4960 5060
Back axle: 3300 6480. Pin weight 3180
Trailer axle: 10480
GVWR: 8260 22020

Actual trailer weight is 13760
We optioned dual pane windows, standard pin box, residential fridge, slide toppers, second awning, theater seating, queen bed. We don't have a lot in the basement at this point, and we pulled things out for the winter.

Hope this helps you out.
