An 11000+ lb GVWR 5er = 2600+ lb pin weight on a 1/2 pickup????
Hope you're never in an accident!

Travel light, how many times have I read that statement. It's usually accompanied by "we don't go far" and "I don't drive fast".
Travel light and t boondock 100% of the time. Multiple batteries? Do you take water with you and wastewater away? If that 9410 is the fiver weight than I don't know how you only have 1280 pin weight. I'd think it would be 2K+.
Good luck to you.

So full fresh water going, full holding tanks returning, multiple batteries with solar &/or generator with fuel for it? Yep! I can see you travel light!
I'm with Marshall, that's a very light pin weight for 9400 lbs! That 1280 lb pin weight is only 100lbs over the published dry pin weight & 9410lb total is only 600 lbs over the rvs published dry weight? It does not compute with 100% boondocking?
Good luck!

LOL That's not legal in all states, but where it is, RV'ers tend to consistently tow higher than in states where they can't.....
