Trailer weight numbers look odd...for pin and axles. Looks like the trailer was weighted with landing gear down and supporting front. This would not be an accurate weighting procedure.
Empty pin should be 2000 - 2500 depending on propane, batteries, and if a generator is installed.
Empty combined axle weight should be more like 8K or more depending on sidewall type and options installed.
Most accurate weights are calculated from back to back scale passes. First pass hitched up
Loaded Truck Front Axle
Loaded Truck Rear Axle
Trailer Front Axle
Trailer Rear Axle
Unhitch and run truck thru again.
Truck Front Axle
Truck Rear Axle
Front Axle payload
Loaded Truck Front Axle - Truck Front Axle = FA payload
Rear Axle Payload
Loaded Truck Rear Axle - Truck Rear Axle = RA Payload or PIN
Trailer Axle Weight
Trailer Front Axle + Trailer Rear Axle = combined axle weight

I haul a Samurai in mine and I would recommend it to anyone. They are cheap, fun and light. I have had four 220 pound plus guys in it and it wheeled like a champ, although I do have really low gearing. I can also open the driver door while it is parked in the center of the toyhauler.

I measured a 95 jeep wrangler.
The right rear bumper-et is seven inches long if I take that off or replace it with a shorter bumper it will fit in the Rage'n , if I back it into the trailer.
Right now its only an inch too long.......

Hi, since you have a 5er, you could just add a hitch and flat tow a jeep or samurai.

I have a 1988 samurai that I haul inside of mine. I have about 14'6" from the rear door to the first cabinet. If I put my wife's TRX450ER quad in the kitchen, I can put the samurai right behind that, and still have room enough for two atc's (three wheelers) sitting front to front in the rear. The samurais are fun and I feel like not that many people even consider them. I would recommend this to anyone, as the sammy is light. I have a door sticker in mine saying it weighs 1900lbs. I can haul four full size adults and fit into LOTS of places a jeep cannot. They are great on gas(about 25mpg)driving it like you stole it. Plus, mine has air conditioning and a nice stereo with amp and sub. I can take the top off or leave it on, and I can drive it on the freeway. Plus, I get to shift my own gears(no belt to slip or snap). I paid only about $1000 for mine, plus a tune up etc. which brings me to less than 2k and i've has so much fun in this thing it's hard to describe.

I haul my 4300lb jeep in my triple axle TH. When I first started I tried to make my F250 do it and I was disappointed. The brakes were inadequate and the transmission constantly over heated. I'm glad I sold the truck before any thing bad happened to it.
I have seen a lot of people haul Zukes in their TH's.
