Again. Look at the yellow sticker factory dry weight.
example. My yellow sticker dry weight is 4811lb. That is with out any fluids, but does include battery, and empty propane tanks. My GVWR is 7400lb. That is the max it can weigh. That is 2689 pounds of carry capacity. I will NEVER load the TT to 7400lb, But it does weigh loaded, ready to camp 6000lb.
The GVWR is not the end all, and in truth means very little to me.
you really need to stay in the less than 5000lb dry range, +/- 500lb and right around 6000lb loaded. Give or take a few hundred pounds. 6000 to 6500lb loaded ready to camp. Is where you want to be
