Ok, anyone who wants to say I told you so can but we are now in a situation where we have a camper that overloads our F150 -axle maximum- by 1070 lbs. We can tow more weight than we can carry; our maximum tow weight is 5715 lbs. Conservatively, if we put the 2420 lb. camper on a flatbed 6x12 trailer we would be towing 2420 + 1500 + 500 lbs. or 4420 lbs. The tow bar weight will be about 440 to 600 lbs. That would allow us about 750 lbs. more for passengers and cargo. Has anyone tried this or seen it done or have any wisdom about such a move. Selling the camper isn't much an option.
