Can you go into a little more about "The problem i see with towing with your TV is, you may run out of payload before you run out of towing capacity. By the time you add the hitch weight plus people, kids and all the stuff you carry in the truck you may very well be over your trucks payload and rear tire rating."
So I don't have our vehicle right now to look at our capacity but if the hitch weight is 900lbs and we weigh 450lbs and our payload capacity is say 2000lbs. that would give us 650lbs of other **** to bring. Now does that apply to only the tow vehicle or both? If both then that would assume that once we fill the propane tanks ect that adds in???
Still trying to figure out all these weights and how they all fit in.
Thanks
You should get the truck and get it to the scales before you buy a trailer. Fill it with full fuel and load all people and cargo you will camp with.
Then take those front and rear weights from the scales and subtract the door tag front and rear axle weights.
That will dictate exactly what weight trailer you can tow.
Until you do this its really all a guess..
