We are in the process of purchasing our new rv. Moving from a 30ft Airstream and Ram diesel 2500 4x4. Planning on moving up to a 3500 diesel 4x4 SRW. I’ve run the numbers on the truck and based on the max loaded weight of the trailer at 16,600 x .23 = 3,818. The 16,600 includes a cargo of 3,012 which I would never get to. We travel pretty light.
Here’s my math
Truck payload. 4,084
Weight
Trailer gvwr x .23 = 3,818
Hitch. 100
People. 315
Misc gear 100
Total. 4,333
Making me (249) over based on maxed out trailer
Truck towing cap 16,670
I think I’m good to go without having to go to a dually.
What does this wise group of owners think? Looking forward to being part of the clan.
