Thank for the link, I'll spend some time when I have a chance reading through it... I've seen a 1/3rd tossed around as an 'easy' answer... but your scenario, I would have enough to accommodate two people and less than 100 lbs of cargo, and there is no buffer/wiggle room for mistakes. The only...

I try to pay attention...

Your vehicle cannot go over the GVWR. Truck and 'trailer'together cannot go over the GCVWR. You are likely to be over your GVWR before you are over your GCVWR. Some number for my truck: GVWR 7100 Curb weight (how much the vehicle weighs with all fluids) 5790 Payload 1310 (GVWR-Curb weight)...

Maybe with a very thin and narrow metal putty blade and remove from the top? Its been a while but I think the top was more of a clip than a tab like on the bottom.

Couple of hundred feet for mine as well...

Which is the donor muffler?

The tailgate should be sitting flush. The cable being loose is a 'problem' among all manufactures dating back to the early 90's and the reply is always 'withing build tolerances'... I pulled up all sorts of old links to articles the last time this came up.

I disagree... they pointed the OP to whom they should be contacting for the issue.

No idea about the screw, but that Pano should *not* be like that at all...

Thanks, I appreciate the comments and concern, but we've borrowed TTs from other folks over the years. There are a couple of more RV shows in the next couple of months for us to go out and peruse TTs but the wife is not impressed with 'land whales'... and there is Outdoorsy where we can rent...

I do not have a TT, that particular conversation just came up within the last couple of weeks. Had I know her interest in a TT, I would likely not have bought the 1500. And while it is a very nice truck and can tow a good bit, the payload is what is restricting me... not understanding the...

Exactly my concern with no hard numbers available on weights. I know @Zeronet posted a list of weight of different items... I double checked it against my 1500 and it is off by 37# (shows 1273 vs 1310)... it may be a baseline for the 2500.

Believe me... I appreciate the information. Which has me now considering a 2500... but that will require some lengthy discussions with the boss to really drill down into what 'we' want. I really like the 1500, but if we will be *just* scraping by on the numbers then the 2500 will be safer to...

Not hacked.. just fake accounts posting spam.

My X-Act rear mat fits flat on the floor, no bulge/hump in center.

Cargo lights by 3rd brake light are not LED

But if I load it so the tongue weight is at 10% making it 760lbs then with the WD hitch it is 860lbs. Minus my payload of 1310 leaves me 460lbs... provided you can safely make the tongue weight 10%.

You sir, are *not* helping... glad the wife isn't on here!

791 includes full tanks of propane. 7,419 lbs of what? My 'stuff' would be the difference between the empty weight of 5868 lbs and the gross weight of 7600 lbs... about 1,700lbs. I suppose if I filled the fresh water tank it would add 325 lbs. so it would drop to 1,400lbs. but why would you...

Ok... so coming back to this. Per Airstream: Dry weight (inluding 2-30# propane tanks and 2 batteries) is 5868lbs. Hitch weight of 791 lbs. GVWR on the TT is 7600 10% tongue weight would be 760lbs 15% tongue weight would be 1140lbs So if I kept the tongue weight as close to 10% as possible I...
