Weight restrictions
Hi all. Tent camper looking to upgrade to popup just for added sleep comfort and dry spot for meals when weather not cooperating. I think I understand the different weight specifications but would appreciate your expertise and comments.
Looking to purchase gas-powered 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC as tow vehicle. I'm sure there are better vehicles but this fits budget and wife's wants. Vehicle specs:
| max towing capacity of 2,000 lb |
|---|
| max tongue weight is rated at 200 lb |
| max payload capacity 1,375 to 1,400 lb |
Looking to purchase 2025 Rockwood 19OTG, specs:
| UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight / Dry Weight): 1,299 lb |
|---|
| Tonge/Hitch Weight: 183 lb |
| GVWR: 2,279 lb |
If I plan to simply tow the empty popup (1,299 lbs) and have a SUV payload of 1,003 lbs (all passengers, driver, cargo and 183 lb trailer tongue/hitch weight) then I ought to be ok, correct? Under SUV towing capacity, tongue weight and payload capacity maximums; under popup's GVWR as no cargo loaded onto it.
Appreciate your guidance.
