Everyone is giving great advice! It looks like my truck as P tires, so next time I buy tires (spring), I will go LT. That should help and is a no brainier.
Regarding the hitch. It is a Curt Manufacturing Cur17022 Round Bar Weight Distribution Complete Kit 10,000 lb Towing/1,000 lb Tongue Weight.
The specs on Jayco trailer are 6,450lbs dry and the hitch weight is 990lbs. I pack fairly light as most trips are just long weekends. But we can account for 2-3 dirt bikes at 250lb each, a 125lb generator and 54 gallons of water (450lbs), and another 200lbs for kitchen stuff, 2 propane tanks and a battery. So rough estimate 8000lbs?
I will take pictures of the set up tomorrow as I am taking it in for winterization.
Also, I have no idea where to weight the set up, how do I locate a place to do this?
