Sorry didn't get truck weighed as it came from Factory but App 8000- 8100 full of fuel.

Trailer is a 2007 Cameo F34ck3

Actual weight was ready to camp : Full fuel,wife, dog (Simon), all tools, water in camper 35 Gals, black & gray tanks 25gals each, full propane, food etc..

Wow just did a preview and my nice colums are gone. Maybe this will help. First set of numbers are the trk spec, the second are the actual weight and the third are the difference. Hope you make it out.

The Weight Police should be happy I'm under on everything. I could shift some weight up front for more pin weight, but it seems to pull just fine.

Per CAT Scales:
Dodge Ram 3500 Dually Gross Weight 7740 lbs
Keystone Montana Big Sky 3670 Trailer Gross Weight 12940 lbs (Max is 14000)

When towing Dodge Steer axle 4300 lbs, Drive Axle 5940 lbs, Trailer Axle 10440 lbs

As far as I can tell, all is well with a little room/weight to spare.

Here is mine,

TV: 2005 F-250 4x4 PS Short Bed weighed in at almost 8500lbs, with fuel, 120lbs of tools, DW. 33 inch oversize tires.

5th Wheel: 2008 Fuzion 362, with Onan 5500 genset (300lbs) empty from the dealer the day I picked it up (except for 20 gal of gas added to fuel station) gross weight was 20940lbs. (added 18k Reese slider + Airbags to truck) No DW (she is 112lbs)

Interestingly, with straight subtraction I was within 200lbs of the UVW claimed by the manufacturer, if you account for the 5th wheel hitch and airbags + fuel in fuel station I added that day, Keystone actually overstated their weight by a couple hundred lbs.
Not a bad idea I guess to add a little wiggle room.

Loaded: All our stuff + full fuel station (30 gal gas)+ 50 gal water + 3 propane tanks full + Honda VTX 1800, saddlebags etc (850lbs)+ tools + TV full of Diesel + changed to 5th Airborne hitch (+- 100lbs) 15 gals in waste tanks and of course DW. Gross weight was 22680lbs

Just under my GCWR of 23000lbs.

Okay, so here is a picture of my label on the fifth wheel, I gather it is telling me what each axle will take and total weight.
Am I correct?

Yes, In KGs. But that is ONLY axle weights NOT GVWR which includes the weight on the hitch. The GVWR ( 1775 ) given is the number you pay attention to. The GAWR is the absolute maximum for the axles at 32# PSI tire pressure. If the hitch weight is about 12 percent of the GVWR then the actual axle load you should expect to see when you are ready to travel is about 1560 KGs, which is about 80 percent of the GAWR. That is about right.

Well my truck maxes out at 11.5K and my 5er maxes out at 14.2K and I'm allowed 26K combined so I must be OK, right?

FastEagle; are you saying

your truck GVWR is 11.5K?
your 5er GVWR is 14.2K?
