Fifth Wheel -
Potential PW @20% is 3237
PW (3237) + GVW (6616) = Loaded GVW (9853) (Under GVWR: 10000)
PW (3237) + Rear Axle Weight (2581) = Loaded RAW (5818) (Under RAWR: 6000)
It looks like your rear axle weight does not include the weight of the fifth wheel hitch or passengers. It's clear your GVWR does, but some weight has to be added to the empty weight of rear axle and pin weight to accomodate these items. I suspect your loaded RAW is closer to 6200 lbs with a 200 lb hitch and about half of 340 passenger weight. That would put if over a 6,000 RAWR. What am I missing??
