Thanks Lyle. The sticker on the receiver says 200 lbs. camping world told me I could safely pull 3500, hence the question. I have checked the state laws for the states we will be traveling and I am within the limits. I think I will have checked at another trailer outfit before going forward.
Makes no sense, to me, but then, it =was= someone from Camping World. Most bumper hitches are rated for a GVW tow with a 10% load limit, hence 300/3000, like the Jayco OEM hitches. 300 lbs load on the receiver, whether it's cargo or a hitch, and 3,000 lbs GVW tow limit for a trailer. I'm sure whatever's there could be beefed up to the 300/3000 limit, but you'd likely void the frame warranty in doing so, which is why I suggested waiting until the warranty is up before doing any mods.
The OEM cargo rack on my KZ has a 200 lb limit sticker on it. Personally, I think it's CYA from LCI's legal people; the rack looks more than stout enough to carry up to 300 lbs.
