You are referring to the weight of the truck and how much it can carry.The pin weigh is. IN the truck and is part of Carry capacity.

Another weight to consider is GCVW (gross combined vehicle weight) that is the total weight the truck AND the RV can carry you will have to go to the ford site to get that number.Washer /dryer, etc are in the RV and have nothing to do with the Carry capacity of the truck.

I am doing a educated guess here .My Dully weighs 9215 Lbs loaded a ready to tow. My guess is your truck SWD will weigh in at @ 8500 lbs loaded and ready to tow...maybe more.You stated a GVWR of the truck is 11,500( i figured it would be) now if you weigh the truck loaded and ready to tow and it weighs 8500lbs that would leave 11,500 less 8500= 3,000lbs left for pin weight .GCVW is a entirely different number. your truck GVW is 11,500 lbs If your Rv GVW is 16,000 lbs as noted on the RV sticker then 11,500lbs plus 16,000lbs would be 27,500 lbs (GCVW) max and the Ford stated spec for GCVW for that truck should be under 27,500 lbs. Simple right......Not. Your RV MAY weigh less than the Stated GVW .We are long timers and run heavy so we are close to the 16K GVW....
