F250 Weight Question
Ok, so made a post that hit about 7 pages pretty quick on going between motorhome and 5th wheel. After much back and forth, more back and forth, we thought that the 5th wheel might be the way to go. ...

In the original post I think you said you called and got the payload. I believe I would go to the dealer and look at it myself. It seems awful light. Mine is a 350 diesel crew cab Lariat package but still there isn't that much difference and it has a payload of 3492.
My truck weighs just over 8,000 with just me in it and a full tank. My current setup grosses 19,300 so that put my trailer at 11,300. The is up from a shipping weight of 9300. I am under all ratings but just barely on FA (200 lbs)and GVWR 300 lbs).
Those are real numbers and you can sorta interpolate from there to your plans
I think if you look at your numbers and then look at his, the answer becomes apparent. Your F350 likely has a GVW of 11500 pounds, at least my 2011 F350 did.
His numbers are based on a F250 with a maximum GVW of 10000 pounds...With 1500 pounds of additional capacity added to his number, he would be at your number...or close...
