Hey Skip that 3500 RL is about the same GVWR as the 3585SA. You ever actually weight it loaded? The problem I am running into is Gross Combined Weight Rating. For example your GCWR for the Dodge is 23000. If you were to simply add the GVWR of your truck (Approx. 10000) and the GVWR of the trailer (approx. 15000) you would say you were overweight. I bet you have no problems towing or stopping your rig. I am betting that, in most cases, people are not maxing out on either payload in the truck or trailer. Any thoughts? As a newbie to all this I could use a bit of advice.
P.S. Believe me I have never been accused of being touchy, feely LOL.

Don't believe any dealer, most know much less than your average RVer.
Regarding the numbers above, if you add the GVWRs of both the TV and the RV, you are counting the pin weight twice. In my case, 2500 lbs of trailer is in my truck bed and counted as part of the truck weight.
