To the OP load up take off and have a great time. 2 or 3 hundred pounds are not gonna make any difference, just don't take a full load of fresh water. Have fun life is too short to worry about everything.

Amen. I have the same 323bh as Cale. I am not going to stress over a few hundred pounds. IMO, all weights are conservative. If they weren't and we did overload we would constantly be breaking axles and frames. No way in he$$ can this TT only carry 1000 lbs. or the enviable it will break the second you pull it out of your driveway. I am about being safe but I also take calculated risks( I don't consider overloading a few hundred pounds a risk by definition) but that is the English saying. Go camping, have fun and don't stress over the weight.

Thanks Cecilt...quick background on me....I am severely anal retentive...I fly in the Navy and limits and procedures have been ingrained in me over time. I concur with the few hundred pounds over won't kill anything, but in the plane, I know that limits are for safety, but I still have a little something-something if I get into a precarious position. Airplanes are engineered and made to crash land and still walk away....now, RV's, all new territory.. Even though I have only been doing this for three years, I find that the best is from the folks that have tested and tried the limits of these items, hence the questions I have and the wanting to re-engineer the trailer. Thanks!
