Sorry to keep asking questions. So more math...I found a trailer with a tongue weight of 620. I am guessing (I will get exact numbers later) there are 2 empty propane tanks from the picture. I found to fiill them up you add 17 pounds each. I am going to go with Battle Born LiFePO4 Deep Cycle...

Thank you. I have your calculator saved. So on those stickers do I take the GVWR minus the yellow stickers combine weight should not exceed weight? I don't see curb weight on the sticker. Lol I am just going to a weight station at lunch.

I get that, I am looking to buy a new trailer later. I am just trying to learn how the numbers work. This is just for education reasons only. Example Below (All listed in Gross weight and trailer only) My truck weights 4441 pounds as per Ford #1 8000 pounds (Yup even I know this is too much)...

I get that, but please help me. I am just asking if it does weight what is says is that ok? Hear me out, if 5204 pounds is too much on paper then there is no point to taking it to a weigh station. I am not buying it right now. I am trying to learn. Lets pretend, I just took it to a weight...

I was told here there don't get over 21 feet. So I am confused. Will this work? Let's pretend the gross weight is 5204 pounds like they say. It does have dual axles. I checked and the hitch weight is 626 pounds. Based on those numbers. GCWR =12,500 pounds Truck Weight = 4441 pounds Trailer =...

When I actually went to the dealer I checked the stickers. The big question is length, can you help me with that please. P. A. Schilke, Rvatior and Dr Safety your help on this would be appreciated too. I am getting stuck on this one. Example: Person says don't get anything over 23ft. Does...

I have not bought anything. It will be weeks or months, I want to make sure I do the right thing. I have people with experience telling me it ok. I know if I keep the trailer weight to 5200 pounds and I know I won't have much cargo I should be good. It sounds like length is where it is an issue...

Rviator gave me sound advice I can back up with numbers. After learning about the SAE J2807 Tow Tests that changes my thoughts. I am just trying to sort myth and fact. There are people who still say you have to change your oils at 3,000 miles tops. That not true, but they will say it is. This...

I can, but I am debating on doing it myself. I was told there is no programing the computer for the install. Since I don't have to program it, its plug and play I might do it myself.

Thank you. I found the ones you said. I also looked to see what the best seller model is on Amazon, normally they are good. I put them below can you tell me which one is best and what you think of the Amazon best seller. If I got one wrong let me know. Thanks. Equal-i-zer...

This would be my first time towing a travel trailer. I did have a 1980's Glasstron open bow boat. I also had a utility trailer with a small dune buggy (bug go kart). I also have my Military certificate to tow aircraft. I had to tow a Sikorsky HH-60H, that was a long time ago and I am sure that...

Thank you for explaining. I found a fun way to figure out what I can tow. Called a trailer rental company. Trust me they will not rent you something you can't tow. They would be liable. I was buying a generator because I wanted one for my house (backup), just figured it just in case I did bring...

You are too funny. If the truck can only tow 3500lbs was does Ford say 7500lbs?. I see people with F250's, those weigh in at tops 7500 pounds. They tow 24,000lbs, I think they are crazy too. You are towing 4 x your own weight. If it could not do what the promise they could be sued and forced to...

I am trying to not got over 5200lbs gross. Currently she wants on that weights 5800. We don't have any cargo really. We are going to places with full hook ups also. I did a calculation and since there is only 2 adults and 1 child it's not much. I was told to use about 100lbs per person for a 2...

Thank you. I guess I should of posted how far I will be going. I live in the central valley in California. I am right in the edge of the foothills. So I am looking to drive at most 2 hours each way. Below is the info. There will only be 2 adults and 1 child. Most places I am going has hookups...

This is what the dealership recommend. I didn't trust them so that why I am here. Like I said I went to the dealership and had them show me what I could tow. He did say this was the max he recommended. We dont want to spend more the $30,000. We like the bunk house, but just 2 bunks is ok. I do...
