NOTE: When driving, max road weight incorporates the total weight of the loaded RV AND the weight of the towed (toad) vehicle. So, a road limit of lets say 10 ton, WILL NOT PERMIT a RV that weighs 18,000 plus the 4000 lb toad. In this case you would be 1 ton over the road limit. (drop the toad and drive it separately in this case)

The GCWR includes the weight of the vehicle on the dolly.
