Teamfour, Want to look at my setup? I'm at Purcellville. I have a 3/4 ton Chevy Duramax and a 31 ft Arctic Fox. It says it can go 8500 lb and we have a 100 gal fuel tank, generator 420lb and we weigh loaded GCVW 18,900 lb. I can go to 22000 lb but would'nt want to and I've driven 2.4 million miles. I ahve a Reese Dual Cam and Airride airbags also and it can still jerk your head off on I81 bridges. You just add on, outdoor grill, propane, water, food, bedding, clothes, blocks for the trailer to level, jack for triailer etc etc. So, get it, load it and come to Loudoun Mill at Hamilton and weigh each axle and get a gross wt.
Assuming the added fuel and gen is in the truck, plus the need for air bags... I think the OP's going to be in better shape than you!
