Trailer weight vs. towing capacity

Dry weight is only a starting point and not nearly as important as gross weight. In my case if I went by dry weight I would have way too small of truck and be seriously overloaded. Dry weight does not include propane, battery, or dealer added options & that's before you put your gear in it. Your "stuff" weighs more that you think.

My campers dry "yellow"sticker weight is 9600 lbs my gross weight is 14500, If my truck was rated to tow 10600 I would be seriously overloaded. The campers actual weight by the scales is 13800. :)
