Weight questions

Hi,

We are new to RVing and have a question about load limits. We loaded the RV (we are full time), filled fuel, water and propane and drove onto a Cat scale. We got the following:

GAW (forward) 11920
GAWR is 12000

GAW (rear) 19760
GAWR is 20000

So GVW is 31680 and GVWR is 32000

I guess we are just below limits. My question is, can we tow our 2600Lbs car if the GCWR is 42000.
Also being close to the limit is a real problem or can we live with it as this is as heavy as we will ever be with all tanks full.

Thanks

Looks to me that you're 10K lbs to the good and then some for towing and you should be good to to go, with whatever toad you choose, as long as your hitch rating is for 10K lbs, as well.
Even a 10% overload is nothing too critical and if it was, then half of all the rigs on the road would have to be removed immediately and as we speak.
Those long 6% grades is what usually tells the story and most always with transmission oil temps. If not for that, many would never know the difference.
