3. Pin weight noted by several posters is what Keystone puts in the brochure...unloaded and deliberately made light so the buyer will think he/she can get a smaller (cheaper) truck. Use 20% of the RV's GVWR for PW.
4. There is no such thing as a "combined GVWR."
Get the numbers and use them:
- Loaded truck weight...including 'real' pin weight.
- Loaded RV weight...ready to travel.
Tow capacity is the GCWR of the truck, minus the weight of the truck when ready to tow.

Ask any hotshot trucker (those guys taking our Montana's to the dealership) about a CGVWR. How do you think they are federally regulated? The GVWR for the truck and trailer are added together. If that "combined GVWR" is greater than 10,001 pounds then they are required to have a medical card, logbook, and HOS (Hours of service) rules apply. So, yes there is such a thing as combined GVWR.
