Wife and I purchased a 2014 Keystone Passport 2650BH (31ft w/ hitch, 4800# dry weight)and need some additional advice on towing with our 2011 Tahoe, 5200# tow capacity....
Clint, you aren't close, you are overweight.
If you are looking at the yellow sticker on the TT itself it should be an accurate weight. If you are looking at the advertised weight, be aware that is with no accessories. Your TT will weigh more than the advertised weight.
Passengers in the Tahoe are subtracted from the tow capacity. All additional gear in the Tahoe is subtracted from the towing capacity.
Water weighs 8.3# per gallon - 30 gallons of water adds 250#.
Most RVers probably carry 1,000# additional to the empty TT weight. You do plan on eating, changing clothes, etc? We pack very light in our popup but still add about 500#.
+1
Our trailer 4370 dry, 4913 empty of gear, and 6006 lbs loaded WITHOUT water translates to 1093 lbs of gear and food for a family of 5.
