Oh well, nice trailer just the same.

Yeah, they advertise 2175# hitch weight. My scale weight on my truck rear axle is showing 2700+ pounds difference with and without the trailer on it. Add 250# for the hitch in the truck bed and I'm right at 3000 payload on the truck. My yellow sticker shows 3265 payload capacity. We want to install a combo washer/dryer sometime and that will get us right at max capacity. All my weights are with a full tank of diesel in the truck. So, it's worst case scenario.
It all adds up pretty quick: 2 batteries, 2 tanks of propane, the bedroom A/C, a few chairs & tools in the storage bay, and the wife's 28 pairs of shoes.
