I went to college in MA and let's just say it gave me an education in driving too. When I moved down to Virginia it was a big shock. Nobody is in a hurry around here except for out of state drivers...

2500HD with a Grand Design Reflection 311BHS. I hit the CAT scales today, this is me parked to walk in and grab my CAT scale slips. I'm in the right side of the numbers, but not by much!

There are three scale slips, the older one is the bare truck, no trailer or ball mount.

Then today I did the truck with the fiver, then pulled up and did the 2 axles of just the fiver to prove a point to the idiots on camper forums who claim that the pair of equalized axles can have dramatically different weight loads compared to each other as you load front/center/rear heavy.

Incorrect. The center stabilizer ensures that your dual axles always share the load evenly until the point that the equalizer reaches its limits in movement.

Anyways.... the camper gross is 13,995 on a pair of 6K axles. 20201018_134835.jpg20201018_182148.jpg20201018_182205.jpg20200927_165009.jpg

Your probably maxed out or really close to maxed out on the rear tires of the pickup.

I wonder what your pickup door sticker says rating is for the rear axle ?

I would pull it with out to much thought, just curious.

Technically you are overloaded by a few hundred pounds but it’s close.

Se a guy in an orange box store, with two big skeletons (about 1.5 feet tall) zip tied to his tire holder (jeep)top and center (with tire mounted).
My wife thought it was cool, but I noticed, most of the skeletons were only being held on by there movable joints.
Wonder how much damage they would do at 60 hitting someones windshield?

It's not really over loaded at all. The gvwr is solo and really just for emissions class. In combination the axle ratings are What matter and he's good there.
