Southpaw and Ron, I'm not sure I completely follow your math, but I understand the general idea.
The trailer has more payload capacity than I would ever use (intentionally shopped that way). My plan is to very rarely travel with any weight in the truck itself. Local trips, I might put some things in the truck, but for a trip of any length, I would not.
If we're splitting hairs, the kids are currently 100 pounds lighter than I figures, and the wife is 20 pounds lighter. Either way, I'm going to have to be comfortable being a few hundred over. I'm not buying a new TV. I might be fooling myself, but I don't feel at all like the tail is wagging the dog. The tow is very controlled and comfortable, almost as if there is no trailer.
Do the weight police suggest new TV for folks that are 5% over? It seems logical to just have an awareness and an extra sense of caution.
