2013 Redwood
Just was reading article in trailer life mag. Have a Redwood so say high end unit 114,000 dollar 5th that has st235/80r15 tires. Man, what a way to cheat cousmer on axles. Anything that large and cost...

I suspect it is not overloaded, as mine is only at 12,900 lbs on the axles fully loaded with full fresh water, and that would easily fall within the capacity of his two 7,000 lbs axles.
IMO, as someone who works with this stuff every day as a professional, that unit needs more axle. It's max'ed out. .
