I have a 2004 Prowler Regal 270FQS. The posted GVWR by Fleetwood for this camper is 8000lbs. The tires that it came with are ST205/75R/15C which have a load rating of 1820lbs per tire. 1820 x 4 = 7280. So if my camper were loaded to the max allowed by Fleetwood, the tires would be overloaded..right or wrong?
The current year model Fleetwoods with an 8000 GVWR now come with ST225/75/15D.
Jim is right but even then you are very marginal. Mfgs put the least expensive tire size on just to meet the specs. I would weigh your TT all loaded as you would normally have it. If you are running that close, as soon as practical, upgrade to d's or e's.

I replaced mine with load range D's. I don't have them handy to check but seems like they were in the 2400# range, plus or minus a hundred for poor memory.

A TT usually has 10-12% of the weight on the tongue so you are then okay but just barely. When time for tires move up to a higher weight rated tire.
