.thought about pulling TT w/tongue weight of about 650lbs....with 130lb wife on board, doesn't appear to be a lot of payload left
Lets say 800 lbs... Leaves you with 1000lbs left per rear axle. Add WD hitch and get say 100lbs off the rear..
Your fine..
As I ststed DOT and the highway authority define payload from axle ratings and tire capacity...
What ever trailer you look at make sure they install the batter and fill the propane. Then tell them you want the tongue weight. They will pull out a scale and weigh it.. ( Dont go by advertised #)
Also depending on floor plan where will weight be added in the camper? If front bed, what will get stowed up front? Or in the front pass through storage? This will add to tongue..
