    By the numbers it looks doable. It depends on your location, flat country, or mountains. Also depends on use, general Rving, or full timing.

    With FW loaded, you will be at the limit of the trucks capabilities.

    The weight police are going to gang up on you and bet you half unconscious with a wet noodle.

    You really do not have much slack there.
