Les,

First, welcome to MOC. Now, maybe I can help here with the figures from my own rig on a certified scale.
1999 2850 RK (11040 lb. GVWR)loaded for a long weekend, all holding tanks dry, hooked to a 1995 Ford 3/4 ton extended cab long bed Powerstroke diesel 4x4 with a 8800# GVW. Full tanks (39 gals.), two on board plus a 100 lb. Lab.

All axles on scale 16440 lb. total weight
Trailer axles (rated at 4400 Lbs. each) weighed 7280 lbs.
Truck drive axle (rated at 6084 lbs.) weighed 5160 lbs.
Truck steering axle (rated at 4600 lbs.) weighed 4000 lbs.
Factory spec. pin weight is 1860 lbs. on my Montana. I've never had a problem towing this rig and wouldn't expect you to have a problem either. We packed a 4000 lb. Lance camper for 4 years with our truck prior to buying the Montana. Even packed it to Alaska 7000 trouble free miles.

Good luck in your travels.
Don
