Have it engineered, change the undercarriage, have it inspected then re-register it at the higher GVWR.

We went with a trailer for extra space. A 7 day trip with only 8 hours of daylight at -15C you're inside allot. Added to the mix are bickering kids and the smell of drying boots and clothes.

Weight sticker can be changed here in BC Canada. I've done it.

To be compatible with every vehicle's light sensing tech the camper mfg may have install an isolating system. I installed LEDs on our trailer which the computer in the truck didn't like so I use a "lamp out sensor bypass" adapter.

I use to get stressed about overloaded vehicles but the number of overloaded non-commercial vehicles vs. the number of accidents doesn't warrant the resources. There would be a public outcry if people were getting $1,000 tickets while heading off on their holidays.

Winter tires with the (snow flake) are not mandatory in BC. "In B.C., appropriate winter tires are defined as those with either the M+S (mud and snow) or mountain/snowflake symbol, in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 millimetres." Claims will NOT be denied. If and I stress IF...

What was the temp differential ....30C inside what was outside?

As far as knots go I understood a "bend" to be weaker and the triple fisherman knot/loop was the strongest. Once loaded you'll be lucky if a Dyneema knot comes apart without using a knife .

Marine doesn't really mean anything...could be something as simple at studs on the terminals. 6V are generally the best value because of the production numbers made for golf carts. Warranty dictates the quality of the battery. When you get the batteries do a 20hr load test on them right away...

Crimps on the cable lugs could look better. Is the nut on the shut loose? Cut a block of wood to drop in the box beside the batteries to stop them from sliding around. it will save wear and tear on the cable going through the alum

Beginning of Novemver 2021 four new Wilpeak 275/65R20 went on the the truck. Since then there's been vibration that starts at 65mph. A Road Force test done today. AFTER all the corrections were made the numbers were 20 , 27, 34, 40......waiting to see what Falken will do.

That sure as hell won't fall apart.

If you are worried about water leaks I wouldn't use grommets. In some locations the marker/clearance lights have to be reflective. I started to use Optronics (Made in the USA) 8-10 years ago and haven't replace any yet. These are the type I use...
