Very nice and a good report of the adventure.

Your fuel mileage going to get the trailer is pretty low. I would have expected more like 16 at least.

Time for a trip to the scales so you can see your loaded weights. Not really needed as we know you are well within your capacities.

I always figure 20% of the trailer GVW will become king pin wt.

Scott, what he's not telling you is that he has 6000lbs of Texas Brisket in the underbelly storage. So he's coming in more around 18000lbs..... This is Texas after all

LOL Justin bet on it...

Stopped off in Stephenville at the Hard-Eight BBQ, good stuff, good sauce, give them high marks on the Brisket, but Sausage was just so-so, not that it was bad but it was store bought (like MOST places and they just throw a bit of smoke and heat at it).

Going down your neck of the woods, SandFest in Port Aransas...

Nice looking 5th wheel. That spot for the dog looks like it was left open for his bed.
