Momentum 29G is now on website

[Thorvald]

A new model in the G class towable is on the website now, it’s the 29G.

This one has the full garage finally and a more usable interior but still only twin axle and 8-12k weight.

Will be interesting to see this one at the dealer and compare it to the similar sized M class.

Yep, it is the newest travel trailer Momentum in the lineup.

We got one of the first ones in the country, and sold it in 3 days.

I did put another order for 2 more stock units.

It is very nice, but you do have to watch the tongue weight on this one. We physically weighed this one (to put on the correct weight distributing hitch) and it was over 1500lbs, dry.

WoW over 1500 pound tongue weight - that's beyond my limit on my 2018 Chevy 2500 Duramax Diesel! How do you weigh it? Makes me wonder how accurate the 25G and 28G tongue weights are? Just looked at the 29G GD website page and they "claim" the "Hitch Weight1 1250 lbs"! And,,, the 28G that I am interested in states it has a "Hitch weight of 1300ibs" for the same sized trailer!!! Out of curiosity, what type of load leveling did you use?

This would cover it.

We used a tongue scale to weigh it. Advertised hitch weight does not include generator.

We used the Reese Straight line hitch rated for 1700 lbs.

Do you think GD weighs their hitch weights with empty propane tanks and no batteries also? I plan on having 2 deep cycle batteries, and would love to go to the next size bigger propane tanks, but maybe tongue weight is why they come with the smaller ones??? I assume the above Reese setup is ok for a 2" ball. My Keystone Outback 230RS at only 6000 ibs has a 2.5" ball - surprised GD uses a 2"...

They are not a 2" ball...just the example on Etrailer. They are all 2 5/16" now.

They are all dry weights with empty LP tanks and no batteries. We install the battery/ies at the dealership and fill the LP tanks.

Yes all dry weights, I’ve had my “little” 2800BH give me tongue weights just over 800 pounds when fully loaded. Far cry from the listed 600 and change but well within the 10 to 15% limit.

Im assuming the heavy dry tongue weight will be a bit lower when you put a 1,000lb side by side in the garage. I'm also looking at the 29G, but I have a 450, so I'm not as worried about the heavy tongue weight. Anyone know where in the frame the fresh water tank sits? 100 gallons = 830 lbs that will also play into the tongue weight, one way or another. Plus 30 gallons of gas (behind axles) and any black/ grey water.

Anyone ever figure out if the fresh water tanks are behind the axel? Trying to get Some weight off the tongue on a 2020 28g.
