You will find endless list of factors when it comes to TC.
I just ended maiden voyage with my old camper and new truck.
Had it weighted before and surprize, the camper that was 4300lb when I bought it winterized, now is 5600 and I did not load beer yet.
Than driving it for 2 days I had some handling issue. At the time I had 15-20 gallons of gray water in rear tanks.
On day 2 morning I dump the tanks and drove it all over Mojave and Baker grades with excelent handling.
Amazing how the +- 150 lb of weight removed from the rear of camper can change everything.
Now I am thinking about deleting spare wheel.....
