QUOTE "if I fill water and haul some firewood we are over the numbers by about 750 lbs."
Why travel with water on board? If its for in travel use then why not just use the fuel stops or just use maybe 5 or 6 gallons instead of filling it!
Consider that you cannot transport wood from certain areas so why not suck it up and buy your wood locally upon arrival!
As for towing with what you have, I would look at what your payload is and stay within that and you should be fine! Just don't overload the RV either!
Take that thing to the mountains if you want! Just know that you wont win any races to the top but RV'ing is not about racing but rather enjoying the ride!
