I'm new guy to TM and towing, one thing I've been doing is looking at the numbers and weight rateings. My 2720 came to me weighing 3580lbs. (gas, no water) trailer is rated at 4000 someing. but each tire is rated at 1870. thus giving a total of only 3740 lbs.

This allows only 160 lbs. for food, clothing, water and whatever else one wishes to carry. Add 20 gal of water and your at 166 lbs.

Can't help but wonder why TM did not put heavier duty tires, whatever on their trailers. We carry most of our stuff in the truck and move it to the trailer when we get where we are going, sure wish we didn't have to.
