Nope didn't go dark, just BUSY man...and wanted this to run a bit to get good insight. Answers to above noted questions:
1. Combined weight of occupants and cargo sticker says 1400lbs.
2. Yes on E rated tires next tire replacement.
3. Kids are 2 five year old twins and 1 thirteen year old.
other issues. Ya, I don't plan on loading anything at all I don't have to in tv or trailer. MAYBE I might have the dog in back of pickup in kennel. I don't plan on traveling with any water or anything I don't need while traveling. I realize it's close to limits. I DO appreciate all the input. They actual buying of trailer is a 6 months to year away yet.... ya I'm a serious planner, overthink things sometime. I think I get that from my 23 years military.... which I kinda could be a "towmeister" with that experience. I just want to make sure 1. the truck can handle it, 2. I don't miss nothing in the thinking process before buying. 3. and I'm "safe" overall making sure weight combo doesn't cause catastrophic failure of tires or equipment or something I havn't foreseen. I WAS going to get an apex but bathrooms are too darn small for my 6 ft. wife. If the toilets were just canted to one side it would of worked. The only other one which might be better is the similar lower weight bunkhouse Transcend for 7,200 lbs. Again, thanks for all the input and please keep it coming. I still have some time.
