    Lighter weight zero gravity chairs

    It's common knowledge that zero gravity chairs are heavy. Do you have some you consider lighter weight than most? I've searched here and on a number of commercial web sites and found none that refer to being lightweight and, where the weight is indicated, they're not. Thanks

    Max trailer weight and driver license

    Is there a maximum trailer weight (GVWR?) one can tow with a normal (non-commercial) driving license? I imagine this might vary for each state. Is there a common set of rules in the lower 48s? Is it different for bumper trailer vs 5th wheels? Thank you
