NC Hauler,
I appreciate your input. I have done my homework. The truck I currently pull it with is over. I also have the benefit of having a set of 35' platform scales at our family coal yard/truck storage facility that are state certified to 110,000# (don't think I need to max them out...lol) and my actual pin was 1800 and change loaded on return from a trip last fall when I really wanted to weigh the truck's axle weight, pin weight and trailer axles. It really is nice being able to go up there on a Sunday when we are closed and take as much time on the scales as you want to get your numbers.
As many have stated, and I know this all too well, I don't plan to buy a bigger camper any time in the future. It is a 2014 model we searched long and hard for and didn't "settle" for anything but exactly what we wanted.
Great advice from everyone so far!!! Thanks.
