I'll play with the numbers and see. Thanks for the reply. By saying 8,000lbs, you mean the gross weight of the trailer or dry weight? I know I've read to forget about the dry weight, but I'm just making sure I understand you. The trailers I've given most consideration to all come in under 8,000lbs dry weight.

Change my example to the van's GVWR as 8000 lbs, and the trailer as being 9,000. Those are the max amount of weight that the vehicles can weight - wet or dry. Regardless of what you put in the van, it cannot exceed 8,000 lbs, and regardless of what you put in the trailer, it cannot exceed 9,000 lbs wet or dry.
