The scales don't lie ...

Jumped the rig up on the scales on the way home from The Ramble ....

4880 lb on the front axle.
8040 lb on the rear axle.
13000 lb on the trailer axles.

25920 total.

I know the Dodge itself weighs 10000 lb so I'm fine with the 2900 lb load on the truck.

Got two axles at 8000 lb each on the traler for 16000 lbs .... good to go.

Got 4 tires at 3295 lb each on the trailer for 13180 lbs .... too damn close for me. Gonna look into some other options for the rubber.

The camper should be 'bout the same weight total ... but should be shifted more onto the truck. We'll see ... Greg started workin' on 'er today.

19.5s?
My crappy tires are good for 4500#/ea. Costed ~$215/ea at Plainsman.

That's certainly an option sir ... got some others I'm checkin' into also.

What's the next size up, 22.5" or something? I bet that's what you're lookin' into.

Ain't had a licka time to devote to research on this yet ... but ain't gonna be no bigger than 19.5's for damn sure.
