Now, durn it, I'm going to have to dig out the owner manual again and see whether I'm underrating my 37-footer. Stand by ...
Well, lessee --
maximum GVWR = 23000 according to the Freightliner data sticker;
maximum GCWR = 26,660. This is impled, rather than stated, in the
really lame Damon owner manual;
difference between the two = 3660; this is the trailer weight I can pull when the MH is maxed out by its own weight + fuel, passengers, fresh water, grey water, black water, propane, and the stuff I carry around. My little Ranger pickup will come close to that.
Some others, larger, will pull more. Some, even if larger, will pull less. Me, I'll stick with that Ranger as my maximum.
