I wouldn't worry about it.  There is a big difference between static loads and dynamic loads.  When they say you can't load a trailer with more than X pounds they've taken into consideration that those X pounds will be several multiples of X on the frame as it bounces down the road and hits potholes.  Just make sure you have the front stabilizers down and don't go jumping up and down all at once when your favorite hip-hop song comes on the radio.  Cool

I'm pretty sure someone has asked this question before, but is there a weight capacity for the Pod when it is stationary?  I ask this question because I will be going dry camping in VA in October and there will be other guys meeting me there to camp for 4 days.  There may be a night when 3 grown men and myself sit around the dinette table at the back of the trailer to play some Poker.
