It's just common sense on loading. A TT has way less cargo area than a 5'er. A TT with a high CCC and small cargo area is never going to reach it's GVW. And vice versa.
A 5'er has way more storage than a TT. It's a lot easier to reach it's GVW. GVW's in the 2500-4000lb range are only usually met with full timers. The average weekender won't take that much stuff.
Using the units GVW for towing purposes needs to be looked at like MPG reports.
Different trucks, different terrain and different trailers.
Too many variables.
Yeah, I realized later I was comparing apples to oranges when it came to GVW, empty weight and I'm talking about 5th wheels and I'm arguing with someone who doesn't. Got off topic and was thinking 5er..but still, GVW is GVW....don't know how one is going to "presume" or guess how much weight they'll put into a unit until they've loaded and weighed it...ran into a lot of folks who have done just the opposite...overloaded and didn't know it until they weighed their loaded rv.....believe it can happen more often than some seem to think.
Thanks:)
