The one thing I don't understand about my Montana. The tag on the side says it can weigh 14,400lbs. So why did they put 6000lb. axles under it?????

It's because DOT is OK with the new trailer being shipped with tires suitable for the unloaded weight (lower cost, higher profit). They are in no way responsible for you loading up a 1200 pound Snap on tool box, 60 pounds of propane, and 2000 pounds of rocks heisted from the national forest.
14.4K - 15% on the pin = 12.24K on the axles.
New trailers being equipped with G 614s is a result of negative customer satisfaction. (and it took a while!)
