I wish I had heeded your advice way by when to get a weigh The knowledge I would have had would have helped me with this planning. Getting a weigh was a lot easier than I thought. Found a place in Irving, TX right across from a Rush Truck center. Only cost $17 and I got two weighs, no line and super easy. Somehow stopping at those truck stops on the highways wasn't my thing.

With that said my estimates for the GVW were pretty close ( you may remember I weighed all of cargo one day about 2 years ago). When full; we can load every thing back into RV and we still have 700 lbs under the 18,000 The Lincoln Navigator weight is what I missed. The 4X4 is heavier, I got premium 22" wheels, 54 lbs for baseplate and RVi Brake 3 and gas.

If I do go forward, I can easily get weigh before leaving and if over or worried about how the amount over, we can go back home and dump something.

My wife and I would never turn a blind eye for safety, but we know exceeding the speed limit is not safe, but we exceed those limits all the time almost routine, but we never approach anything reckless. That is kind of where I am here. Ok so we may be 1-2% over; is it really reckless? i.e. One driver driving 69mph and the other guy is 71mph. Technically the 71mph driver is breaking the law, I don't know that not following Mfg suggestion is breaking the law?
