Erase Dry Weight from your mind; it means nothing. Concentrate, instead, on GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), which is the total weight of the trailer when it is fully loaded. Compare the GVWR of the trailer to your truck's fifth wheel towing capacity and then make your decision.
Thanks for the reply. The 33' Ambition has a gross weIght of 19,000 lbs. But I find it hard to believe that we will load it with 5,500 lbs? Does that seem reasonable for a weekend camper?
19000-15500(shipping weight) is 3500 pounds. You will be over weight with a full water tank and a modest amount of goods and clothes on board.
On edit, you are talking about two different trailers I guess. Both will overload a SRW truck.
