Has anyone ever seen such a high gvwr for a 19 foot htt. I just got off the phone with k-z and they can't explain why mine has such a high gvwr. It is supposed to be only 5000 lb. Also my floor plan is not how it is advertized. Have not seen another one like it online. They are supposed to get back to me. The UVW is 3417 so that means that I can add more weight inside than the trailer weight. skipnchar • View posts Topeka or somewhere else Senior Member Joined: 12/17/2003 View Profile Posted: 07/28/10 11:12am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I'd wait for confirmation because it's really unusual. Maybe they put the wrong axles under it. 2011 F-150 HD Ecoboost 3.5 V6. 2550 payload, 17,100 GCVWR - 2004 F-150 HD (Traded after 80,000 towing miles) 2007 Rockwood 8314SS 34' travel trailer US Govt survey shows three out of four people make up 75% of the total population gates59 • View posts Sudbury Ontario Full Member Joined: 08/03/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/28/10 11:17am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I'm thinking it might be a custom order. They said that happens once in a while. Larger axles is ok. Better for me I guess. Roads are rough out here. Handles just fine. Will see. Hope to hear from them soon.

Although not a HTT the actual unloaded weight was 4300# and the GVWR as was printed in their brochure was 6000# for a CCC of 1700# which sounds about average for a TT. It was purchased through a show though so I had to wait to pick it up a few weeks later. When I did pick it up the actual stamp on the trailer stated that the GVWR was 7000# which now gave me 2700# of CCC. My dealer couldn't explain it either. His line to me based on the storage compartments and such was "unless you're a rock collector you're not going to use all that CCC in this trailer". Nice to know the trailer will handle a lot more than I will ever pack. 05 Toyota Tacoma DC 4x4 SB Off-Road Package w/Tow 128" WB Toyo Open Country A/T Tires 2005 KZ Jag 24JB WD hitch w/ friction sway Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Honda EU2000i Generator Me.. the wife, the 7 year old, and the 4 year old gates59 • View posts Sudbury Ontario Full Member Joined: 08/03/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/28/10 02:17pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks for the reply's. I'll check the axles for a tag and see for sure. Just kind of weird they would put a larger axle that needed just on my rv.

Axle capacity moves in large chunks it seems. -- Chuck gates59 • View posts Sudbury Ontario Full Member Joined: 08/03/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/29/10 01:12pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Well I do have 3500lb axles. That's good. Still have not heard from k-z to find out about my odd floor plan. shum02 • View posts Burlington ON CDA Senior Member Joined: 04/22/2005 View Profile Posted: 07/29/10 01:27pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator StarCraft did the same thing to their Antigua/TravelStar line a few years ago and put 3500lb axles on everything giving these lightweight HTT enormous CCC!
