Bob, I agree with the "shedding weight" strategy. The first thing I shed was the 500 lbs of fresh water the dealer put in when we picked up the new Monty. Given the way we use the Monty at this point, there is no need to haul that weight around. With my TV, we have a GCWR of 23,000 lbs. Assuming that the TV is at its max GVWR of 9900 lbs when the Monty is hooked up and assuming that the "factory door" weight of the Monty is the 11,650 lbs stated in the specs, that leaves only 1,450 additional lbs if I am to stay within GCWR. If it is not absolutely necessary, we do not haul it. If it is necessary, it better be LIGHTWEIGHT!
