That's what I want to know...if our units have a GVWR of 16,000lbs, how come the pin box is only rated at 15,500lbs.
While working an RV show today I checked every lippert frame and pin box combination, on every unit in the show. There were more than thirty, by at least 6 different manufacturers, i.e, Sunnybrook, Fleetwood, Dutchman, Holiday Rambler, etc. In EVERY case the pin box weight rating was HIGHER than that of the coach itself. Example: Holiday Rambler - GVWR 16,900 - pin box 19,000; Sunnybrook - GVWR 15,000, pin box 18,000; and on and on...
The only units I saw with a 15,500LB pin box rating had a GVWR of 14,000 OR LESS!!! Why are ours LOWER than our GVWR??? Do we have an issue? What happens if we are close to our GVWR?
Scott, can you answer this?
