Field observations on our new Trail Lite 213
Now have accumulated 500 miles on 2 different camp outings. Pros & cons: Our 2004 Trail Lite 23' has low range mileage (33000) on the 6L Chevy platform. I really like the way it drives & handles...

I agree that you can avoid using a Toad with that compact RV.
But, the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the max the COACH (with contents and passengers) is allowed to weigh. You don't carry your Toad IN the RV.
The GCWR (Gross COMBINED Weight Rating) is the sum of what your RV weighs and the weight of what it's towing. Be sure you're working with the appropriate rating. The GM chassis doesn't offer as high a GCWR as Ford, but I doubt it's as low as 12000. 12000 sounds like GVWR.
