I don't know if you read any of the rest of the thread. I am not an RV'r. I am a pickup owner who purchased a travel trailer for at the most 6 weekends a year. Maybe one or 2 of these will be with an ATV. Your comment is extremely rude and not well thought out. Its not that I am not willing to pay for this. Its unnecessary to purchase a heavy duty truck or a toy hauler to bring my atv twice a year.
While you may feel JJ is being rude, it is not, sadly it is more truthful than many folks like to hear.
So far there have been multiple posts which you seem to have ignored which relates to the leftover cargo weight which basically is what the trailer will use up and EXCEED.
Loading up your passengers, fuel and ATV is leaving you only 400 lbs for the trailer tongue. That means your trailer cannot exceed 4000 lbs for 10% tongue weight or 2670 lbs for 15% tongue weight.
You clearly don't care about your safety over bringing your toys.
I think you need to stop and consider your safety over the toys and realize that if you want to take it all you will be compromising by either getting a more capable vehicle, replace the trailer with a Toy Hauler, take a second vehicle which can pull a trailer or haul the ATV in the back that vehicle..
