Got to agree...
He did not give enough info to give a good answer but if you look at the above post you can see he is over GVWR with just the camper. I did not add for other add on items because he is just guessing at camper weight. But you add 225 himself 130 wife 150 two small kids the barbque food dishes ect and you can see he is way over his 3215 lbs of payload with a 3000 lb camper. I do not like GCWR either but it is a CYA #. By adding a large trailer with some good brakes to help stopping you can easily go over your GCWR. The problem is most do not know enough about weight distrubtion to do this. They want to hang it on a class 3 hitch (instead of a gooseneck) which makes the front end light and the whole truck squirley with a heavy trailer. You have to know how trucks work and losading it up and going down the road at 70 in the rain is not how you learn. I have seen enough weekend trailer pullers in the ditch upside down and a sheet over their child to not even go there when talking to some one I have never meet and do not know their ability. Just look at the SUV accidents. A soccer mom that is use to a car 6" off the ground and she gets a big top heavy SUV so they can keep up with the Jones's and what she do try to weave in traffic and turn it over. So this is why I am a strict beliver in GCWR. Just like Ford i use it to CMA.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
