About half way to my destination, I noticed a pigeon had landed on the trailer. Well I am not one to take chances, so I abandoned the truck and trailer on the spot and never went back, no telling what damage that extra one and one half pound of pigeon weight did to the rig.
The problem is that the salesmen listen to what hundreds of their customers tell and show them what they are doing in real life instead of listening to the "experts" on RV.net. Every "expert" knows the manufacturer has no clue what they are doing and only RV.net "experts" are qualified to be experts on the manufacturers product.
The GVWR is just "marketing" so can not be exceeded by even 1% but best if not over 80% while the engines can be chipped to over 10% and God forbid if anything goes wrong it is the stupid manufacturer's fault and they are responsible to stand behind their junky product.
