One of the interesting things I have been seeing on some of the new trailers is the GVRW more than the combined weight that the axles can carry.Is this something that has changed so that now some of the pinweight is considered into the GVRW?21k trailer with 6k axles,really?We stress these trailers enough without having to worry about this.And a 21k TH, man that is heavy,and pull with a SRW?I switched from a SRW to a DW just because of running downhill from Flagstaff and the trailer starts pushing the rear of the truck around.I drive very conservatively and it was way tooo scarry,and I am at 16k.Please look at total package of TH,weight,length,garage length needed and make sure you will feel good about carrying the family safely.I had to upgrade my TV, hopefully you can find a TH that you will not have to.
Years ago manufacturers were allowed to take into consideration the pin weight and the fact that the axles would never carry more than 6k. This is illegal now. 21k GVWR RV's should have 7k axles (mine does), not 6k.
As to weight with a SRW, mine is under on axle weight, tire ratings, and truck GVWR. The only thing I'm over on is GCWR which isn't a concern for me. Never scary in any way. From reading on forums I've found peoples threshold for considering something scary varies widely.
