This is a whole other box of worms. Double towing with a 1/2 ton. 2,300lbs of boat with no brakes pushing against a 7,000lb. GVWR trailer that weighs 6,300lbs. Says the owner...SMH

What do you have in that F150? 6,900lb. GVWR minus 2,078lb. payload capacity equals 4,822lbs. curb weight. Obviously it's a 4X2. 5,400lbs. loaded minus 4,822lb, curb weight =578lbs. What that? Hitch, fuel and passengers? You are a minority, most load and overload their trailers with all the...

You say 75lbs. over GVWR no worries. Agreed but 60% of all RV's are over and many more hundreds of pounds, many 3/4 ton's over payload 1,000lbs. https://fifthwheelst.com/

A 6,900lb. GVWR truck (F150) has a 4,050lb. GAWR max without HD option

That KZ Sportsmen 231RK has a 14% pin weight dry. Even if you are able to maintain that % your looking at 1,000lbs. of pin weight with a loaded trailer. That leave 500lbs. reserve for passengers, 5th wheel hitch in bed and cargo. Nobody tows a Dry trailer to camp.

So true. REad all this lik has to offer. Fithwheelstreet.com

locked rotor amp (plural locked rotor amps) A specification which indicates the current amperage being drawn by an electric motor when it is "locked up", i.e., not turning.

Dicor does not bond. If there is any chance of movement (expansion/contraction). Dicor will allow gaps and leak

Yes, 3M UV 4000 is the best. Better than any traditional RV product

Tahoe GCWR is no more than 13,000lbs. Hitch weight on that Air stream is at least 800lbs. Wheel base is to short even if you where the only passenger and no other cargo is in the Tahoe. That Air Stream has a GVR of around 8,000lbs. Find yourself a HD truck and honestly stop towing it with that SUV

That Expandable is to heavy for a Wrangler. 3,500 lbs maybe no cargo and only driver, Hitch weight will be on that model at least 400 lbs. Wrangler Cargo capacity is around 600 lbs. Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is max 7,500lbs. Go weight you JEEP with all your camping stuff and passengers...

Lets say you stay within you payload capacity with all passengers seated, which is 1550lbs. in OP's example. And lets say you find a 5'r that you have loaded to a GVWR 8,000lbs. If you truck is at max GVWR say 7,000 lbs. and the 5th wheell axles are loaded to 7,000lbs. You have 14,000lbs...

Set WD hitch to get TV no more than 1" squat. Then air up to level. I use 20-30lbs to level but mostly stabilize. Minimize sway like a anti-sway bar. Air bags are not a replacement for WD hitch. They will not transfer weight to front axle or trailer axle. Only for load control and will not allow...

Your Toy can't pull 10,400 lb as equipped stop bragging...LOL  That's for a regular cab base 2wd truck no payload. I'm sure you don't have.
