Thought it was 1380 but actual 1500
Yes and 1020 of that is TW. Then add your weight with nothing else.Whats that 1200 say? Add a full tank of fuel and.......
That 1500 lbs dont mean much. The most important # is the axle rating on the truck. Those tou do nor want to exceed.
As I stated with the weights you gave you have 370 lbs left on the truck before you go over you axle weights..
There is nothing you can do and thats probably the best your going to get..
Its seems that you have about 1300 lbs of stuff in that camper. I compared it to the stock weight coachmen gives. That may be your problem. Too much stuff.
Again air up tires to max 50 psi when towing. If not those tires will get hot. Hate to see you get a blow out. And with those weights your best off towing solo. Have wife and kids follow or meet you at the camp ground..
Thats what I do as I have same issue. Only 500 lbs to work with before I go over axle rating. But even my s10 dont squat as yours does.. But I only have a 420 lbs TW. 10%
