" The other thing is, don't let the Half Ton title fool you. I have not been on scales anywhere yet with this unit, but I am guessing when fully loaded we are pushing 11,000 pounds with over 2000 pounds of pin weight. That was where I was going when I made the 1/2 ton truck comment. Not sure that there is one out there that would not be over the limit in 1 or more areas (GAWR,GCWR, etc) especially when you add in more people and supplies to the vehicle."


I wish that folks wishing to tow an RV would heed your observations. You paid attention despite the "hoopla" luring unsuspecting, ignorant and "lazy" potential buyers unwilling to do their due diligence. I think all of us want other RV "towers" to be safe and within guidelines but it is getting increasingly obvious that the faction that "just doesn't care" is growing - to the detriment of all towers and every person on the highway.
