Weighed my truck 10\14\13...truck had hitch in it, toolbox, full tank of fuel and full tank of DEF..just me though, steer axle was 5280 (rated at 6,000#), my drive axle was 3860#, (rated at 9750#)..Gross weight was 9140# (GVWR is 14,000#).
Weighed my whole combo 3/5/14. Full tank of fuel, full DEF tank, me, wife, two boxers, tool box a tad more loaded and 5er loaded almost as full as if we would be gone a week...all tanks empty, cept black water probably had 10 gallons or so in it and 2 5# bags of ice to slosh around in the tank while driving from Asheville NC to Seviereville TN..
I digressed....front axle was 5460# (again, rated at 6,000#
Drive axle was 7200# (before it was 3860), which gives me a pin weight of 3340# .
My Gross weight was 12,660 (truck plus pin weight) which is 1,340# under my trucks GVWR.)..Drive axle weight of 7200# put my truck 2550# under my RAWR of 9750#, (based on tires and psi).
My trailer axle , 12,580# and pin weight 3340#, put weight of my 5er @ 15,920#, (has a GVW of 16,900#)...Didn't have my generator.
Total weight of combo was 25,240#....trucks GCWR is 37,600#.
Anyway, all these weights were taken on CAT scales.
You are too far from your limits! A larger RV is in order.
thinking....thinking...thinking....:)
