If you were to take the tow vehicle out of the equation by using a super heavy truck, what are the most important components of the trailer that dictate its payload capacity? Tire rating? Axle rating? Springs? Other? So, if you upgraded tires and suspension components you will upgrade payload capacity. Correct?

Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, this may vary based on the RV that you would want to upgrade due to the complexity of the trailers. We would suggest reaching out to the manufacturer of your RV with your question as they would have a better idea of how to upgrade the capacity.
