Rob,

Perfect. I wish I still had my 2005 owner's manual. It stated a dead hitch weight capacity of 500 lbs. With a WDH, it was 740 lbs. So I would say with 99% confidence that your hitch weight limit with WDH is 750 lbs. I would absolutely not exceed that number. One of the few limits that even the most ardent overweight hauler will not exceed (there's three of them that are sacrisanct: axle limits, tire limits and hitch limts).

That's the bad news. The good news is we may be able to fix that. Where are your storage bins, water heater, fresh water tank and waste tanks? Where is most of your interior storage? We can use all of that to get the hitch weight down to 750 lbs. Doesn't take much to remove 130 lbs from the hitch.

Tom
