THANKS for the replies!
So, in any instance, with a tow or not, if my Sunseeker has an empty weight of 11,150 (per Forest River) and a GVWR of 14,500 then the maximum weight of cargo/people/fluids cannot exceed 3350 because GVRW is a number that covers braking capacity or axle capacity. Is that somewhat correct?
Oh, and I did get the numbers from Forest River, which doesn't mean they are right!
I believe you're totally correct. Those are good numbers, leaving plenty of capacity for people and everything else.
I would tend to believe that 11,150#, and I'm actually surprised it weighs that much. My 32 1/2' MH with my wife and I on-board, fully loaded for camping, although with about a 3/4tank of fuel and 1/4 or so filled fresh water tank, tips the scale at only 11,940#.
