Looking at your numbers for the 3725RL I don't think you are doing that bad. Even though we are full time I think we carry a pretty light load. Even though you and I have different TV's you seem to be loaded a little lighter:

CAT Scale weights: Truck and Montana loaded (extra stuff on board from last weigh-in)
Steer Axle 4800# 4900# +100# (I am at 4920)
Drive Axle 6620# 6980# +360# (I am at 7020)
Trailer Axles 11260# 11360# +100# (I am at 11,640)
Gross Weight 22680# 23240# +560# (I am at 23,580)
It is kind of funny how you can fill things up when you have the space. I am really not too worried about my weight. The one which I watch closely is the rear axle rating. At 7050, I do not want to overload. It is not the axle as it is the same as the DRW, but the SRW tires are the limiting factor. If I had a DRW, there would be no issue here. I already have the rear axle weight down to 6882# which puts me at 168# under my rear axle rating. I still need to move inside, but that will be a different day.
