I don't think what weight Thor has on the placards really makes any difference except for an estimate of what weight the RV can carry. Unless the GVWR is substantially less than the carrying weights of the tires, the tire carrying capacity is what drives your loading. The truck manufacturer matches the GVWR to the load carrying capacity of the tires. In the E-450, for example, the GVWR is 14,500 lbs and the six Michelin tires in the vehicle are rated for about 15,000 lbs at max psi. The four tires in the back are rated for a total of 10,000 lbs or 5000 lbs per side and the front tires are rated for a total of 5,000 lbs or 2,500 lbs per side. Have your RV weighted and make sure you are within those max weight parameters and, if you are really concerned, that your total weight does not exceed the 14,500 GVWR for the chassis.
