Hello everyone. My family and I are new to this site. I am in need of help from you experts here. We currently own a Rockwood pop-up camper and are looking to upgrade to a travel trailer. We are interested in a few but want to make sure the trailer is in out vehicle weight restrictions so that we do not wreck it.
We own a 2008 Chev Tahoe, 5.3L V8, with 3.73 rear axle. Manual states 7500lbs is maximum trailer weight and GCWR is 13000lbs.
So the trailer we would like to buy is a Dutchmen Aerolite, dry trailer weight is 6470lbs.
I know you have to take into account food, clothing and what not packed into the camper. I plan on not putting any water into the tanks until we arrive at the campground we go to.
Is this trailer to much for my truck? If so where does my trailer weight need to be. Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
