Read the sticker on your truck's pillar to determine max tow weight and cargo carrying capacity. Shifting to another topic mentioned in your original post, I don't consider central VA, MD, or OH as places I'd want to winter for a few months. (We lived in Wash DC for 8 years,) Temps below 28 degrees forces decisions about winterizing. Most trailers are not comfortable in freezing temps even if you don't have water freeze issues. To my mind you need to get to the southern half of the FL peninsula or the desert SW for comfortable winter RVing. Some like TX. We have departed StL in January with the trailer still winterized and then unwinterized in OK, AR, or TX where/when temps are warmer.
Thanks for mentioning winter problems with a RV......when younger we would deer hunt out of my 13' TT and always used portable water. But as far as staying warm the furnace always kept us warm and sometime the mercury was dipping near zero.
I agree we wouldn't stay too long in VA.....probably just after Thanksgiving to deer hunt with my son and then hit the sunshine state. Come spring try to pass through my older son's state wherever that may be by then and landing back home no later then May 1st to go fishing on Lake Erie.
That sounds so good because I really HATE winter after working in it for over 30 years.
