Hi BFL13. Since you noted that you are new to Class C, I just wanted to remind you of a couple things. If you already know these things, please ignore this post and pardon my response. Understand that when you are weighing for GVWR, your RV needs to be fitted out just as you intend to use it. You must allow for the weight of all passengers, full propane tank, full fresh water tank, clothes, food, pets, and stuff. From your initial post, I could not tell whether you took these items under consideration when you weighed. Also, if you exceed GVWR, you are placing a stress on not only the tires, but the suspension and drive train. Finally, it usually isn't a point of whether you get "caught", but rather if something fails causing an accident you may be expossed to potential legal issues. Best wishes for figuring out your rig.
