Can you shift some of that forward? Where is your fresh water tank? Can you run it only 1/2 full? Remember your fuel tank is only full when you start out, it gets lighter as you travel. Ford would like you to adhere to those ratings to provide you with a margin of safety. That safety margin is for when you hit a curb or the live weight walks around etc. Just drive a little more conservative when going around corners, hitting potholes, and hitting those moguls etc. Adjust your tire pressure for the weights the tires are carrying without going over the sidewall pressures. Those owners that are running several hundred pounds over need to put the RV on a diet.
I used a Cat scale to get weights on my 293TS TrailLite...With full water, fuel, and propane the weights were as follows: Front 4020 vs 4600 axle rating and the rear 9700 vs 9450 axle rating. The gross came in 330 lbs under the GVWR of 14050...

The difference is minor and I only had minimal fresh water on board, however, I have a very light slide. There should be a place on this forum where owners could post their weights.
Weighted the rig on our scales here at the quarry. GVW was 9200. The rear wheels were 5680 and the front wheels were 3520.....
