I pull a 5'er weights in close to 8,000 lbs loaded up. I know where all the weight came from ... I turned my back and my wife stuffed more things in!!! If there is space she wants to fill it.
2005 Rockwood 26' 5'er, Michelin LTX MS tires, 270 watts of solar on the roof, 4 T-105 golf cart batteries, Xentrex converter, Outback FX2012T inverter/charger.
If you can't take it with ya, why bother with an RV!

Re: What is the true towing capacity of a Toyota Tundra?
A good rule of thumb is to take the listed dry weight of a trailer and add 1,000-2,000 lbs for a loaded trailer. Mine is 4700 lbs dry as listed by the manufacturer. It weighs 6400 lbs ready to camp with no water. Same for hitch / pin weights. Always good to take a trip across the scales so you know where you sit.
