Ok, so I have to say to the people who seem concerned about overloading the truck. First I know what the GVWR is. That being said, unlike RV manufacturers, this is a "conservative" rating. The trucks front axle is rated at 5,200 lbs, and the rear axle is rated at 6,084 lbs, and the tires are all rated at 3,042 lbs. The weighs on the Cat scale were under all these numbers (4,600 front, 5,700 rear). And yes they reflect the Wife, Dog, cooler full of beer, some firewood a bbq and misc stuff, and a topped off fuel tanks. The truck headlights don't point to the sky (its level) and while parked its not setting on the "overload" leafs.
The RV on the other hand exceeds all of the limits with a modest load (i.e. empty tanks).
Getting Keystone to see it as a problem is another issue.
