As far as trailers and fifth wheels go, do not rely on the amount of weigh you can add by the sticker. That is set for a basic trailer. If you got the second AC, and a lot of extras, well the weight is not included in the base weight of the trailer. So you have to weigh it to find out. Yes you have to purchase and then weigh to find out you can have food, no water, and only a quarter of what you thought you could carry. Most do not weigh and are over weight by a lot. We had our fifth wheel weighed at a Goshen rally. We were within 100 pounds left to right and front axle and back. We were basically at max weight which is about what I calculated. We were congratulated and told some weighed that day were as high as 3k overweight. We were among the very few that were within the weight allowed.
