And isn't the gcwr closer to 80k? Does gcwr = gross combined weight rating, meaning combination of veh. and any trailer? I thought gvwr is gross veh. weight rating, which is the maximum amount the manufacturer says can be on the single veh. itself?

Is your 17,880 front axle an air ride or steel springs?
good ol' fashion leafs up front

Oh CRAP - i made a typo last night ! the Front is 13880, not 17880

so the GVWR (13880+22700) is 36580 (which i think i said before)

im going by what the drivers door tag & the tag inside the kitchen cabinet says combined (loaded coach and trailer) is 40k.

i WISH i was 80k rated (im single screw-ed) - ive got no plans to pull a stacker <mental note: play the lotto>....but if im not careful i could be OVER weight - pulling a simple little jeep (ill just leave that topic alone).
