Truck gross is 6900.
Trailer gross is 7200.
Combined rating is 13,800.

I know I’ll be close, but I think we will technically be ok with some planning and a couple trips to the weigh scales. We won’t have anything that has to be in the bed of the truck.

Do you guys have any real world weights of your trailer contents that you can share? I can’t imagine actually packing 1200 lb of stuff. Battery and propane are heavy, sure. So is water, but we won’t usually (ever?) need a full tank on the road. I know things add up fast though.
Tool box, clothes, food, dog, books... When we moved to the new trailer there was more than 30 pounds just in DVD's, I know because I weighed the box The DW's knickknacks are 20 pounds...
