Better have good 10 ply tires on it and not China Bombs.
My guess is They are shifting load over to the truck, but they would have to also raise the GVWR.
It’s probably a combination of a misprint and/or a mistake.
I see that out of trailer sellers quite often.
I like the 17.5’s and the oil baths. Although usually 7k’s are not oil bath, but 8ks are. Nice trailer!
Speaking of China Bombs, I had to drive up to Ann Arbor this afternoon and I saw no less than 3 RV's on the side of the road with blown tires. Bet they were all 'One hung Loe' tires. Rv manufacturers like to put the cheapest tires on their trailers. All 3 had collateral damage from the blown tires too.
Yep! that's why you have to know more than them and order one built correctly despite them saying the same trailer with tandem axles and 15" tires on the lot will "work just fine".Cheap tires don’t help but rv manufacturers typically use barley adequate axels that are overloaded by the time it’s all loaded with stuff.
Ah, but it's listed as "max capacity" not max payload.Payload would be defined by what we load on the trailer. No adjustment for tongue weight. Sounds better that way....
Uh.....he posted the trailer specs. 17.5" wheels with 16-ply tiresBetter have good 10 ply tires on it and not China Bombs.
