After our purchase, I noticed the listed weight on the yellow label on the 5th wheel said 9054 lbs, but when I was looking through paper work after home from buying. The Origin of Title stated 9198 lbs. So I figured after adding 435 lbs(2-30gal propane full, 6 gal water heater, 10 gal fresh water and battery) this put us at 9633. After adding our stuff for a short trip 587 lbs brought us to trailer total of 10220 lbs. Adding truck 10189 lbs, (us, stuff and 20% pin weight), put us at Combined cgvw of 20409 lbs rolling down the road.
At least I have a buffer for holding tank weight and more stuff. My combined for my truck is 22,000. My truck is a 2012 Ford F350 6.2 gas w/ 4.30 axle. Kind of funny, just for fun I looked up new F350's for 2013-2015 and now they can carry 500 more pounds.???? Do you think Ford fudges on weight numbers?.
