Timmac,
Hopefully you follow your own advice? After all, clearly your rig is non-compliant with its ratings. You know the old saying... people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Right?
Yes I am about 800 to 1000 lbs over the Fleetwood towing rate of 5000 lbs but Ford did give the chassis towing rate at 5500 lbs, and if you take a look at my post I have spent monies to make it as safe as possible and added extra weight carrying to the trailer, hitch, receiver, safety chains, electric safety brake away switch, 4 electric brakes, heavy duty tires and added more metal frame under motorhome with air bags.
My point is if your a little over weight but went the extra distance to make sure the trailer, tow vehicle and towing equipment exceeds what you are carrying/towing than you are doing good and I or most anyone else would not comment, but when its done like the 1st post on this thread than it needs to be corrected or just stay off the road..
MY SETUP ABOVE...
