Actual Hitch Weight vs Dry Hitch Weight

X2 on weighing it. I took a baseline weight on my RAM 1500, which sounds very close to the OP's RAM 1500 including the air suspension, and then worked off of that to determine the rest of my payload allocations. With just myself, full fuel, the after-market additions of a Bak-Flip bed cover and a Weathertech bedliner, and the small amount of emergency supplies I keep in the cab full time it scaled in right at 6000lb. With the GVWR at 6800lb that left me with 800lb for additional passengers/cargo/hitch/tongue weight which was a little bit less than what I expected given the 1100lb door sticker.

While my Jayco is certainly not a tent trailer it is a smaller unit. Given the scale weights I've seen on my truck I would agree that the OP will likely be over the GVWR for the truck but within the axle ratings which should be 3900lb each. I'd certainly be interested in seeing the scale tickets if the OP decides to weigh the setup.
