Personally, since that is right at the limit with little margin, I would buy a higher rated hitch. In fact, I recently did just that because I was right at the limit. I would rather have too much capacity than not enough...

Less then 400 pounds of reserve sure wouldn't give me warm and fuzzies for a B&W. I would still do a scale weight check, loaded and on your way to wherever just to be sure. I have no trust in weight cert stickers on any RV

I definitely plan on it. Just how it sits now, completely empty other than the portable generator and after it's loaded with everything.
