I finally had a good opportunity to get the "loaded to go camping" weights on my rig. Here are the numbers:
................................ curb wt...........scale wt............GAWR ..............% Capacity
Front truck axle........4850................4860................6000 ......................81%
Rear Truck Axle........3150.................5940................7000.......................85%
.....Truck Wt..............8000..............10,800............. 11,500 GVWR ..........94%
.....Truck Only ..........8000.................8100 *
FW Pin Wt ........................................ 2700
FW combined axle wt.....................11,920
FW Weight .............12,130..............14,620...............15,500 GVWR..........94%
....Combined Weight......................22,720..............23,500 GCWR..........97%
* ¼ tank of fuel, 1 passenger, Andersen Hitch
Note the camper weighs 2500 lbs MORE than the literature curb wt with only necessities on board and empty tanks except 25 gal fresh water.
It shows all weights within weight ratings with 700 lbs of "growth" still available. This is more than I expected, and real good information to have. It cost me $8 at an independent truck stop. Money well spent!
This can also be used to more accurately adjust tire pressures to actual load being carried, per tire manufacturer inflation charts
