Well in my opinion you need to somewhat follow the sticker on your RV. My RV has a GVWR of 19K with a UVW of aprox 16,200. In the garage it has a sticker that says #3100 max in the garage which would put me over the GVWR if loaded to that. So I asked the question through Keystone, they told me that it was axle weight rating that I really should never exceed to prevent damage to the RV, which on my RV would be #21K, my tires are rated to #24K so I figure I can go to somewhere between #20K and #21K and be ok. Now If I'm stopped and weighed by the police and I'm over the RV sticker of #19K then I will probably get a ticket, but I'm also willing to take that chance. I have weighed mine at #17660 with most things in it and by the time I fill water tank which won't be very often when hauling the bikes I'm adding another #917, then add in the bikes I'm adding another #1700 so I'm at #20200 fully loaded and traveling which is still #800 under my axle rating. The bikes and full water loaded together would be a very rare occasion.
