Too many choices
Help. The family can't decide on our new camper. I like the floor plan of the Forest River Grey Wolf 26DBH. The wife likes the Jayco 28BHS, she thinks the quality is a little better, and she may be...

So, what do you think?
So if You're at 1000 tongue weight using the numbers above, you have 890# of payload left.
Subtract the weight of the people and pets that will be riding with you.
Subtract the weight of anything you carry in the cab or the bed of the truck. FOr me it's things like a cooler, extra propane tank, chairs, bikes or kayak's, table, cornhole boards, etc.
If you do the above and you still have a positive number left, your good and that is your safety margin. If your negative number, you need to get to a positive number by either eliminating weight or downsizing the camper to give you a better safety margin.
