Thanks to everyone...the snark was ignored. I'm kinda understanding now the importance of those other numbers I haven't figured out yet.
Let's go with these numbers on a Jayco I found a good price on:
Weights & Measures
WEIGHTS
Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) View Definition 4700
Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) View Definition 710
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) View Definition 7500
Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) View Definition 2800
And a F150 2.7L 4x4 Lariat
Curb Weight
4,806 lbs
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
6,500 lbs
Max Payload
1,694 lbs
2,250 lbs. – Max. payload capacity
8,500 lbs. – Max. towing capability
Anticipated cargo: enough **** to keep one person alive for a week or so, enough **** to keep two dogs alive for a week or so, two dog beds, a decent mattress, one bowl, one plate, one cup (you get the picture), a 9lb road bike, a 15lb mountain bike and a fishing pole with a cheap plastic wally world special tackle box full of spare ****. I'm definitely worried about maxing out the THs GVWR. *snark back*
Based on what I've figured out so far, I'd be good to go, yea?
The other scenario:
Same cargo, same truck, 21ft Desert Fox
Dry Weight (lbs/kg) 6688
Payload Capacity (lbs/kgs) 3712
GVWR (lbs/kgs) 10400
Hitch Weight (lbs/kgs) 1060
Too much, yea?
