Why load trailer/truck up to max anyway? I take it no one carries 200 300 pounds of belongs for a trip. I don't plan to full time, just eat and sleep in it. I can buy food and water after reaching our destination. So no one does this?
Wife and I travel quite often with only two 50# max suitcases and two small 25#.
I don't want to carry contents of the house with me that's be moving.
You're not considering the wt of things like food, pots, pans, plates, silver ware, cooking utensils, drinks, bedding, propane a 50# battery, water hose, sewer hose, chocks, level blocks and a ton of other items. Also things like a spare is not often included in the UVW of some trailers so there is another 50 or 60lbs. You can easily end up with 1000 or more lbs on top of the UVW for a trailer.
