We have an 03' 298 SC. With fuel, genset, gear and ice chest, you will be about 10,500 (dry weight states 8,600). Plus you need to figure in the wieght of the trailer. I have a 3 axle LoadMaster from Ohio (3x electrical brakes too). Trailer wieght is 2,220lbs. Total trailer capacity is 15,600 as each axle is 5,200lbs. You could go with a dual axle trailer if you get 7,000lb axles. 3 axles are better than 2 espeically if you blow a tire. My 2 cents.
