Weight Gain - How easy it is!!!
Our rig normally weighs in about 9000 for the truck and 7200/7300 for the 5'ver. Were headed north to Alaska and drove through a closed DOT weight scale that had left the scales on. To my shock, the truck weighed 10,000 lbs and the rig 7800. The rig weight was fine as it grosses at 13,000 but we were well over our 9,200 lbs. max truck weight. Much of this was firewood which we have now shed, and some of it was tankered fuel which was nearly full (70 plus gallons). The truck towed fine and I would NEVER have guessed we were that heavy up front. We'll shift weight from the front of the 5'ver to the far rear (under the couch) and try to weigh again before we cross the border.
