SKOOBDO, we don't have the same rig that you do, but ours weighed 11,120 as compared to the UVW of 9,180 and GVWR of 12,040. We had been full-time for about 6 months so the trailer was loaded, but all water tanks were empty. If all tanks were full we would be a little overweight, but we never travel with all tanks full. So you can see that we had almost 2,000 lbs of "stuff" and we thought we had packed very efficiently.
The last time we were at our storage area we unloaded several things that we had not used in the last year in an effort to reduce the weight some more. With all I have read and heard about tire failures on trailers, I don't like to push my luck. We bought an upgrade to larger tires when we bought the trailer and I watch the tire pressure frequently. We also watch the weight which in addition to tire concerns, impacts fuel economy a little.
