Towing a larger Travel Trailer
Hey Guys, newbie here. I recently upgraded to a 35ft Nomad Joey that has a dry weight of 7250 lbs, but the sticker on the side says it weighs like 8100 lbs(not sure what that weight means, dry weight ...

The 7250 is probably the brochure weight and the 8100 is the 'as built' weight.
Assuming you have a weight of 8100, the loaded weight will probably be 9600 pounds once you add food, gear, clothes, and water. The tongue weight will be between 1100 and 1400.
Subtract tongue weight of 1400 from your payload capacity. Now subtract the passengers and gear in your truck from the payload. Got anything left? I doubt it.
