If i use the combined weighy of truck and 5th wheel and subtract the weight of the truck this should give me total weight of camper loaded correct? Can you please help me out with numbers. Am i good to go ? Thanks Jim
His question has been answered. As weighed, the truck is under its GVWR and the trailer is over its GVWR rating.

The OP can decide if his trailer being over its GVWR is acceptable.

Personally, I'd be more comfortable with the truck being over than the trailer.

Exactly. Truck is ok. The 5er - not so much. The issue is if his tires and suspension are overloaded, not the truck. Overloading the tires leads to overheating and catastrophic failures. Overloading the suspension creates unsafe towing conditions and possible premature component failure. Remove some of the non-essential parts of the load in the 5er and have a nice trip.
