Good advice, JBarca. I do indeed need to get actual weights before I consider this. My trailer was manufactured by Fleetwood, which is history. I've compared it to much larger, longer versions of the same brand, and it compares well as far as frame/tongue construction. I think the weak spot on my unit is the 3000 lb axles. Several years after mine was manufactured, they did indeed lighten up the whole package. My generator is a Champion 3400, 112 lbs before fueling. I would hoist it up there while standing on the tailgate of the truck. I may not do it at all, I'm just exploring ways to free up space/weight in the bed of the truck.
