Bill,

The first time out, we probably overdid the GVWR of the Monty...there's way more space than there is cargo capacity in the 3400. That's the only problem we'd ever tun into. It was pretty easy to shed some weight; we either left it behind, got lighter versions, or put it in the TV.

I know there are people running over the GCWR who are on borrowed time. Running at the GCWR means you're playing the game by following their rules. To me it just means that all the brakes better be in top condition. I think it's a lot more important to be able to stop quickly than go quickly (of course, that may be because I have to go through 7 gears to get to speed, and the brakes are designed to handle a lot more than just the TV).

Bob
