That verbage says "CARRIED" as in under tow. In some places it may be legal to carry occupants in a TT. I know for a fact that is the case for 5vers.
Jayco builds 5vers. I bet that verbage was simply carried over from the 5vers.
No matter.There are other things wrong with this anyway
A static load is much less than a dynamic load.
I know when I installed my Onan generator, I had to allow either 2.5 or 3X the weight for dynamic loads... Per Onan.
So a TT set up for camp can hold much more weight than it can bouncing down the road...
Then there is the setup for camp factor. It usually involves stabilizer jacks... They will support some of the weight instead of the axles.
