    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Does anyone have any over-the-payload related incidents/stories?

    I see an insane amount of 1/2 ton and smaller pickups with slide-in campers installed. Most of the 4x4 crew cabs are certainly over GVWR, especially the vehicles running armor and with mountain bikes or a dirt bike on the back. For the number of trucks out there, likely over GVWR, there...

    My Grand RV, RV LIFE Multisite Forum 21 BHE axle weight ratings 3,000lbs to 3,500lbs?

    Hi all. We are looking at buying a used 21 BHE in the 2019 to 2022 years. I came across a discussion about axle ratings that said they started to use 3,500lb axles with some 2021 models and newer. I can't find any easy info to confirm this. I have seen some talk that they used 2,500lb axles...

    My Grand RV, RV LIFE Multisite Forum Has anyone put their 2800BH up on scales?

    All, I'd like to purchase the 2800, the listed GVWR weight is close to my trucks capacity. I wonder what the real world weight truly is and if someone has put theirs up on the scales, if they wouldn't mind listing what they found and was that with water in the tanks? Thanks in advance. r/ k

    My Grand RV, RV LIFE Multisite Forum I knowwww. More questions about how to choose a tow vehicle.

    I’m going to jump out there & ask for some help. We have just a few days to purchase a new vehicle that will be our everyday auto, & our tow vehicle… we are clueless. We happen to hate trucks. We are SUV people, & it seems to be a hard process to know which one will handle our towing needs. All...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Anybody up-rated their GVWR sticker?

    Hey all - so I recently bought a 2012 chassis cab, flatbed, SRW diesel, crew cab F-350 to haul my FWC Grandby flatbed (on order, due in April). According to the 2012 Ford brochure, my GVWR was meant to be 11,100#, amply sufficient to accommodate my 1700# Grandby. However, after I got the...

    My Grand RV, RV LIFE Multisite Forum Upgrading axle capacity - impact on cargo capacity

    I currently have a 28BH. I must admit that I really like the size/simplicity of the new 2019 Imagine XLS 21BHE and can see swapping out here in a year or two. My concern with the 21BHE is that the dry weight of the unit is very close to the GVWR (UVW ~4700# vs ~5450# GVWR). Technically I...

    My Grand RV, RV LIFE Multisite Forum Weight Gain?

    I noticed on GD's website today that a Reflection 29RS now lists a GVWR of 10995, and a lot of models have been discontinued (at least that's what I assume the "Dealer Stock only" notation means. The 29RS was previously listed with a GVWR of 9995, and that's what the info tab on the front of...
