I just go by their 'RATINGS'...which is the 'R' in these: GVWR, GAWR, GCWR
I'll not say 'sure you can' stuff, but provide them info back to the above RATINGS
plus tell them to go out and actually weigh their set
Plus, always recommend that they decide on their 'risk management' decisions
AKA...gambling
Whether they belive in the 'RATINGS SYSTEM' or not
If not, then do whatever, but know that they have taken the liability away from
their OEM. Both warranty and general liability
BUT...do say that the OEM's marketing sets a confusing position with
their 'MTWR'...which is based on the 'curb'...or 'stripper'.
So many refuse to accept that this is the case...maybe not all OEMs
but the majority of them.
If yes, then bone up on how that RATINGS system works and follow their TV's
'RATINGS' as published
Too many are just looking to hear what they want to hear...or to find a chart
saying what they want to read...without taking the time and effort to go out
and weigh their setup
