Imagine my suprise!

Took my truck to the scales the other day to refresh my memory about how overloaded I might be when I tow my 5th Wheel. Rear axle 3600 lbs, not a huge problem. Front axle 4280. 4280,

. I can add a whole 120 lbs to the front axle without exceeding the rated max. of 4400lbs. We'll see when my trailer is out of the shop, what the loaded weight looks like, but i'm thinkin it might be medium duty truck time. I need to add a gen set to the coach, which will probably put me over on the rear as well. As for the CGW, I know im over at least 2000 lbs, with the coach lightly loaded.
