Dave,
That being the case, you certainly are within Keystone's specifications, and, as I understand it, rv.net should agree that the trailer is safe.
My concern is for those of us that have more things they want to carry and thus would be "over" the GVWR if they did. My concern is also is that Keystone specs the GVWR of their trailers based upon the UVW hitch pin weight plus 12,000#. For example, the 3400RL GVWR is the hitch pin weight of 1770 + 12,000, or 13770#. This places those trailers with the lower initial hitch pin weights at a disadvantage with repect to GVWR even thou all the structural components may be the same as the heavier hitch pin models.
Don't get me wrong, I like the 3400RL design. It's just a shame that this design is rated at a lower GVWR (and thus can "legally" carry only a smaller load)than other Montana models. But, I guess it only matters if something unexpected goes wrong and people try to blame the 3400RL owner for being over the "advertised" GVWR.
