M.O.C. #22708
2017 Montana 3950 fifth wheel
7,000 lb axles x 2 =14,000# rated
GVWR of trailer is 16,885#
(do you already see the problem?)
Unloaded vehicle weight (GVWR) is 13,190#
Potential cargo of 3635#'s but with the axles being rated at 14,000#'s this limits me to a very small payload???
If I change out the ST235/80R16 E Range tires to ST235/80R16 G RATED tires will this boost the axles rating more than the 7000#'S Per axle better?
Why did Montana limit the trailer by not using the proper axles and tires to fit the label they used on my trailer? Any help would be great as I am headed to Arizona on Sunday with new g-rated tires on my trailer after having a bad blowout.
Thanks,
