Default My GVWR & GCWR <is this right>

as being discuss in another thread -
theres some question as to my weight rating/capability....

does seem low ? for a single screw (42ft) FL Columbia ?
Ive got the MBE4000 (benz/detroit 450hp) w/ the 12speed auto (Meritor/ZF).

the below leads me to believe that im only "permitted" 5799 lbs (after water/propane/fuel) including trailer etc.

Ive weighed the truck fairly well loaded (grill, chairs, tools, blocks of wood for the jacks/stablizers, some food and clothing & 1/2 a tank of water) and the scale tipped a knats eyelash over 30k lbs. - which I take it to mean i could add another 10k lbs of stuff (trailer/clothing/ice etc).


Quote:


so the GVWR (13880+22700) is 36580 (which i think i said before)

im going by what the drivers door tag & the tag inside the kitchen cabinet says combined (loaded coach and trailer) is 40k.

i WISH i was 80k rated (im single screw-ed) - ive got no plans to pull a stacker <mental note: play the lotto>....but if im not careful i could be OVER weight - pulling a simple little jeep (ill just leave that topic alone).
