On some occasions I will tend to go into a little more detail than required when discussing weight considerations, but I make a strong effort not to be critical in presentation. In doing so I hope that some of the folks reading some threads that don't have the level of knowledge as some of us are made aware that some conditions (mods, cargo placement, etc.) can impact towing safety.
Again, apologize for the mis-understanding.

Hey - I also apologize for my terse response.
I am coming from carring a 4000 lb truck camper on a single rear wheel truck and towing a 5000 lb boat - with many mods to the truck and over 60,000 miles I figured it out.
I have been told by many that I can't do that - and it bothers me that they did not understand the real limiting specs of a TV and RV.
I appreciate your concern - many would benefit from it.
