Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
This may surprise some of you. 
My new 2006 QuadCab 3500 4x4 CTD with 2 adults and full tank of full weighs:
4760 front GVW is 5200
3580 rear GVW is 9350
8340 pounds total.
Truck GVW is 12,200 pounds Dodge specs is 23,000 pounds for total GCVW.
I hauled my new 37' Cedar Creek-Day Dreamer from Charlotte to home Friday and weighed both. Truck full of fuel and RV was bone stock empty except for LP gas.
Total rig was:
4780 front
6040 rear Total truck was 10,820
That leaves me to spare to load in truck or hitch of:
12,200 minus
10,820 ------ 1380 pounds
RV GVW is 15,500 pounds. Empty is 10,960 on axles and 2480 total load on pin. I did not add wrong. The RV put 20#s on the front axle.
15,500 RV GVW
13,440 dry weight That leaves me 2,060 pounds I can load into dry RV before it maxs out the GVW of the RV. Before you jump the gun, remember as I load the RV some of the load will transfer to the kinpin.
Now before some of you go ballastic look at my totals:
Right now with brand new 3500 dually I am at 21,780 pounds. That leaves me only 1,220 pounds to spare.
They say 23,000# is total GCVW for this truck. I am at:
13,440 for empty RV
8,340 for empty 3500
21,780 total empty.
Remember these figures before you order your new 3500 DRW MegaCab with only a GVW of 10,500 pounds.
