Lots of good info being written about here. Some of you "assume" that I do not know what my GVWR, RAWR, tire max load rating, and actual weights of vehicle and fiver loaded and unloaded. I stated several times that I have had my truck & fiver weighed (several times) at a certified truck scales. On our last 2 week trip to the ocean my actual rear axle weight was 218lbs BELOW the max RAWR. This was with my fiver hooked up. I have not exceeded the GVWR, the RAWR, the FAWR, the fivers GVWR, or for that matter any of the trucks or fivers stated max weight requirements. I believe there is a margin of error built into all of these trucks max weight requirements and as long as you don't exceed them (which I have not) then you should be good to go. Just because someone does not list every actual weight does not mean they have not had the rigs weighed and know what the actual weights are. Bad assumption. Enjoy your tow vehicle (dually or not) and your coach. I know I enjoy mine.
