Weighed my truck and trailer today

How many of you have actually weighed your rigs at a scale? We bought our trailer last month and I took it to the scale this morning. I weighed my set up with the rzr loaded forward first, then backwards, and then weighed the truck only. Surprisingly the rzr only added 80 lbs to the pin when loaded backwards. I learned a few things. First, I don't know how anyone with a larger 2 axle trailer can stay within the ratings with all of their stuff with a SXS inside. Mine is a 45 ft. Seismic with 3 axles and a 16 ft. garage. The trailer weighed. 17820 with most of the stuff we carry for camping. The trailer is rated @ 19000 lbs. If I fill up the water (132 gallons) I would be about 40 lbs overweight. My pin weight was 3500 lbs. which is about 20% of the trailer total. It is recommended to be about 25%. I found a really cool calculator online that helps you figure everything out and tells you how close you are to all of the different ratings of the truck and trailer. If you haven't weighed your stuff yet, it would be a good idea.

Neil, congrats on the toy hauler! That is a beast and looks like you have a beast for a TV. Good move on the weights, I’m a bit of a nut about weights and I can’t stand not knowing how my weights match my weight ratings.
Many smooth miles!
