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...

Has anyone determined how much overweight the trailer is?
I'm sure it will be pretty expensive to change axles and wheels/tires.
If not that much overweight, I don't think I would worry about it.
Also, how often do you change campsites? If you have tools or small heavy items, throw them in the rear of the truck while driving and transfer back to the TH when set up.
According to the GVWR sticker, it appears that we are only a little over 300 lbs. overweight. It isn't much, but I would prefer to have a bit more wiggle room and ideally we would be a bit underweight.
As for the cost, I am weighing (no pun intended) my options right now. I've completely given up on the disc brake conversion because that was going to make this ordeal cost enough to start considering trading our current trailer in!
I had the same idea about putting some more weight in the truck, so I'll give that a try. I've got some tool boxes that are pretty heavy, despite not taking up much space, so I could probably find some room for them elsewhere pretty easily.
