Overweight
My 6250 GVWR ultra-lite trailer had a delivered weight of 5326 with full LP tanks leaving 924 for cargo.
I know I'm close to my cargo limit when packed for travel even with an empty refrigerator and empty holding tanks. That's the downside of an ultra-lite, but that's another story.
Parked at my campsite with a full refrig, full holding tanks and 2 people, I could be exceeding my GVWR by more than 1000 lbs. We're snow birding and the trailer hasn't moved in 4 months. But I will be getting the weight back down below the GVWR before heading out.
We're heading north in a couple weeks. Mostly I'm wondering about the cheap factory Rainier tires. They are ST 205 14 R75 Radial tires, 6PR Load Range C, 1760 lbs at 50 lbs. That's a combined 7040 lbs, which I have no doubt been exceeding at the camp site.
Has anyone had any experience doing this sort of thing? And yes I would feel better if I had good quality tires!
