Toyhauler hitch/truck setup
We have a Grand Design 320G and would like some input on the current setup. I have a Ram 2500 with aftermarket airbags. It's a Megacab with 6 1/2' bed. The hitch is a gooseball/ reese goosebox. ...

I picked my camper up today and was able to weigh it empty (no bike, no water, no food). Total weight is not far off what I figured. The pin has me scratching my head.
I had a little under a full tank of fuel.
Steer axle remained almost identical
Pin approx: 2,600lbs
Total trailer: 14,700 lbs
Pin comes in at 17%. If I load my Bike and water in the back (soon to be done and weighed again), I am adding approx 2000 lbs behind the trailer axle, lightening the pin even more.
It also puts me at the max GVWR for the trailer (16,800 lbs)and the 7K lb axles would be maxed out.
This seems far too light of a pin for the weight of trailer. However, the trailer towed great that way. What's everyones thoughts?
