SoundGuy, The website for the 2017 Colemen 192RBS lists:
GVWR = 5,900 lbs
If the yellow stickerfor yours indicates = 2043, then shouldn't the
UVW = 5900 - 2043 CCC = 3857 ? But yours is stamped 3815. <- 42 lb difference.
The one I looked at UVW = 5900 - 1987 = 3913 but paper has it as 3798 <- 115 lb difference
You're making this far more difficult than it needs to be, nickel and dimming a few pounds here and there. Look at that brochure pic I posted of my own 2014 and you'll notice GVWR is listed as TBA, not 5900 lbs. Point is, 42 lbs is neither here nor there ... if such a small number is putting you so close to the limits of your vehicle you need to look for a lighter trailer or a more capable tow vehicle. And FWIW, no way a 192RBS loaded and ready to camp is going to be running just 438 lbs of gross tongue weight, nor would you want it to. With an average GVW of 4500 lbs loaded and ready to camp I'm running an average of 600 lbs of gross tongue weight or ~ 13%. Personally, I'd like more, closer to 14%.
