Oh my!! I got mud on my face. I see what you are saying now. FYI: My truck was with me, 200lbs dead weight(softner salt), and a slider hitch, and the GCWR is 13440. I went to a web 5th wheel calculator (RV Weight Calculator | 5th Wheel | Gooseneck | Safety Report) and found out what you were talking about. I see I am 220lbs over on truck GVW and although hitch percent is green it is 16% like you said. Well hum,, I thought all was well but guess not. I already have a non-slider hitch (Reese 15K in storage) that I'm gonna run thru the scales and see if I can get GVW to go green but I won't mess with hitch weight. It really helps when a second set of knowledgeable eyes takes a look!! Thanks for all the assistance and information.
