Hello my friends! I went out to my sration wagon and founf a plate inside the driver door that reads the following:
GVWR 5830
front gawr 2586
REAR GAWR is a nice 3132
This has to mean that my rear axel is built to carry a 3,132 od load?? Well if the tongue of my fold a wall pop up is ONLY 200 to 350 tyhen i have NOTHING to worry bout! i hope!
No it means the rear axle is designed to carry that much weight, BUT it includes the weight of the vehicle that's on the rear axle, not just what you load. That's why you'll see so many "get the vehicle and trailer weighed" posts.

This means that the total of everything - tow vehicle, passengers, luggage, fuel, optional equipment, and tongue weight - can not exceed 5830 lbs.

The three most important when towing, the GCWR, Max Tongue Weight, and Max Trailer Weight, aren't given, so you may not be OK.
Forget the "I hope" part. Bring it to a scale (fully loaded) and get it weighed.
