Looking to see if anyone else is running into this issue. We have a 295 MK and the advertised hitch weight is 2350 lbs. Weighed our rig before our last trip and the truck rear axle came in at 3740. With the trailer attached the truck drive axle came in at 6680. Thats a difference of 2940, so if I am doing my math correctly, my hitch weight is 590 pounds to "heavy". My concern is that we don't have a generator and we don't have a washer and dryer so how does anyone stay below hitch weight if they have those components? I was carrying no more then 100 pounds in the front compartment and approximately 200 lbs in the pass-through. Other then that, it was clothes, shoes, etc. in the front closet and dresser. Also, just wondering if it would help to carry a few hundred pounds of water weight in the holding tank to relieve some of the hitch weight. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
