Nothing so drastic, we just need to lose a bit of weight which we may have already done but I won't know for sure until we move to winter quarters about a half hour away and we drive right past the weigh scales. Keep in mind that the TV is only 325 lbs over and the RV is 250 over on 1 axle with the other 100 under. The entire RV is 1,570 over due to weight in front storage which we have since cleaned up. The purpose of the post was to show that even with a big truck parts of the rig can be over weight while well under on others. The big issue is the use of 'towing capacity'. That is a mostly marketing number not the key determinant. GCWR is far more important.
