Can you please help me with these weights and their meaning?
2003 V6 3L Saturn VUE with Trans Cooler
&
1969 Shasta Compact =
GVWR = 4839 lbs
GAWR = 2425 lbs
GAWR RR = 2414 lbs
From the Local Truck Scales =
Vehicle attached to Camper = 3840 lbs
Vehicle detached from Camper = 3540 lbs
Tongue Weight = 300 lbs
(Not including my fat irish asre at 300 lbs (but I AM dieting!))
Sooooooooo... am i right that I can only have about 600 pounds of other supplies and stuff?
ALSO:
If 60% of the over-all weight should be at or in front of the trailer axel... what does one store in/towards the back?
And I take it one of those cargo trays on the back bumper is a non-starter due to Sway?
What is the general concensus on a sway bar for the Compact?
THANKS

Need to know the GCWR on the Saturn, that's your towing limit.
But, yes you can only add another 600 pounds to the Saturn, assuming you aren't exceeding the GCWR.
GCWR is gross combined weight rating, that includes the tow vehicle, trailer, all passengers and supplies.
There's a long detailed thread that breaks this down.
