Okay, this is interesting. I jumped over to one of the other well known sites that has a fifth wheel calculator. I input the ratings and weight info per above. Entering the RAWR and the RAW did not change the tow capacity. The results was 16,184, the same as RV Tow Check. Hmm...
Yes, it is complex. But as I already said, the current well known and normally used methods are not working to reduce the number of vehicles exceeding the weight ratings. Salespeople don't know what they are doing. A lot of buyers don't have a clue. Especially the newbie RVers. A new buyer at a dealership isn't going to get the complex information. I haven't met salesperson yet that knew anything about doing a job rate sheet.
Even if a simplified calculator like RV Tow Check is isn't perfected yet, do you not think it's better than the status quo? Or is all this talk of helping people make a better choice the first time at the dealership a waste of time and effort?
