It's a discussion folks. I wasn't looking for a definitive answer. People here are usually really good with specs and such so figured someone may have already been through looking into this kind of thing.
I'm merely curious how manufacturers come up with these numbers. It's not just Jayco that does this which is why I'm asking in general.LarryJM wrote:

I do have unlimited calling. Within the country I live in which is Canada. Jayco is in the USA and my plan does not have unlimited international calling and since I have only had to call a non-toll free number in the USA once in my life (last year to Jayco), paying for a monthly USA plan isn't sensible.
Well Holiday Rambler that made mine didn't do it like Jayco evidently so again it appears to be manufacturer specific and again only that manufacturer and in particular for that model might have the answer. My trailer's GVWR is 7549 with two 3500lb axles which is on the FMVSS label and has a dry "tongue wt" of 549 so the sum of the two axles and the dry tongue wt. equals the specificed GVWR.
