Overweight Toyhauler Dilemma!!
We finally got around to weighing our toyhauler and it confirmed that we are indeed overweight. The scale says we weigh 14,660 lbs. total with all of our belongings on board. The trailer is a 2010 K...

Maybe I am missing something but I don't see how you are overweight.
The GVWR appears to be 16,359 and you said your total weight (with all belongings) is 14,660. You are 1,700lbs under the GVWR.
Also, the fusion payload does not include the hitch weight.
Meaning?
You subtract hitch weight from carrying capacity? Or you can add 5164 to the axles?
Back to the OP, you said total weight. So what was the split on pin vs axles? What size axles are in it?
My understanding is that you subtract the pin weight from the payload capacity meaning that the max weight is as follows: 11,195 (dry weight) + 5164 (payload capacity) - 2365 (hitch weight) = 13,994. I read on another forum that Keystone uses this formula to make their numbers look better, but in the end it just serves to frustrate their owners!
Unfortunately, the only scale we had access to was the one at the local landfill here where we're staying in Kerrville, TX. The weight we got didn't differentiate between axles and pin weight, so the 14,660 figure is just the rough overall weight of the trailer.
