I apologize ahead of time because I know weight has been discussed ad nauseum...somewhere on these forums. But it just became personal today and I'm not sure what to do about it.
Finally got to take the rig through a weigh station and the front axle weighed 4,050 (vehicle tag says max GAWR for front is 5,000), but the back weighed an astounding 11,000 pounds! Sticker says max rear is 9,600.
I have a scooter on the back which weighs about 100 pounds; nothing I can do about that. I've gone through the heaviest things I could think of over that back axle and can trim off app. 430 pounds (so no more traveling with a full fresh tank unless I'm doing one-night stops).
Where do I trim off another (almost) 1,000 pounds?? It's just me and my cat, and I don't haul a bunch of junk with me.
FWIW, the fridge is over the front axle.
Also, does the weight matter when parked? Because I only move every 3 weeks or so, and then, only 100 miles per day.
