Hello all. I'm new here and completely new to all of this. We have just purchased a 2014 Zinger 26DT travel trailer. I keep worrying that we have gone too big of a trailer for our truck. It's a bit late now, but when we were shopping, I had asked some friends and also the salesman assured us that we were fine, but I want to know for sure. I've read some posts on this site, but still confused by all of it. I'm hoping that some of you can help me with the proper calculations.
2008 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4- GVWR- 7000lbs
Max trailer weight stated in the manual with 3.73 ratio- 7500lbs
GCWR- 13000lbs
2014 Zinger 26DT - Sticker inside trailer says it was weighed at 6100lbs
Brochure says GVWR-7830lbs
I'm not sure what the weight of our gear would be. I think maybe a safe guess could be 1000lbs?
People weight should be approx 700lbs.
I'm sure this has been asked over and over, but I would really appreciate if someone could help me calculate it.
Thanks
