If I Upgrade My Axles, Do I Increase My RV’s Weight Carrying Capacity?

If you think you can upgrade your axles to increase your RV’s maximum weight capacity, think again.

Many RV owners have purchased a Brobdingnagian house-on-wheels only to discover that by the time they fill up the cabinets and storage nooks, the RV is already stretching its suspenders!

As I’ve written about before, insufficient cargo carrying capacity (CCC) is a major problem for many RVs: most large travel trailers, Class C motorhomes, and some 5th wheels and Class A coaches. You can find 30-ft rigs with less than 1,000 lbs of cargo capacity!
