I am curious how/why I see scores of Ram 1500 towing 30'+ trailers which most have hitch weight of 750 - 850 lbs. You see Mom, Dad and 2 youngins jump out.

With a Payload limit on a Ram 1500 of 1200 lbs minus 800 for the hitch, leaves 400 lbs for a tank of gas ~ 110 lbs and family of four.

I dont refute what you say, just curious why I see so many in the campgrounds and on the road.

I don't know about your vehicle, but usually the payload number includes a 150 lbs driver and full tank of gas. So you don't need to "double count" those. You need to check your manual to see what the payload number already includes before you start adding up the numbers.
