How much weight do you think you carry in your 5th Wheel. I can't imagine we've ever loaded anymore than a 1000 lbs in any of our RV's before...(just 2 of us). I guess it's the available weight the manufactures set between their empty and GVWR that seems so excessive. Who carries 2500-3000 lbs of....stuff?

This basically comes from having to have (not to exceed weights) for your Tow Vehicle. I don't know, but why put the trailers in the Diesel Truck Towing ratings when it's really not necessary.
