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...

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.
Interesting. Is there a GVWR on the trailer? That is what you need.
What size OEM axles?
Next time your by a scale just put the trailer axles on it, that will give you an idea how it breaks down.
