    65 minus 26 does equal 39, but are you are not pulling it bumper style. Are you mounting the hitch over the rear tires or moving it forward to put weight on the steers? Have you weighed it to see where you are now?

    Front is 11,400 (or somewhere around there), rear is 5500. Planning on going as far forward, but there's only 7'. I think the diff is 2.5' in

    Are you going to convert those storage boxes to sleeper area?

    Jumbo- already done. Top half is sleeper. Bottom is storage. It's mid engine so there's a big gap for engine air flow
