weights

Newbie here! We're about to embark on our first camping trip with our 30' towable. While most of our stops will be at campgrounds with FHU's or with a dump station, we ARE staying at a few Harvest Host locations for a night or two. Question is this: Should I be finding a dump station nearby...

Hi all, I have used the chart at https://www.michelinb2b.com/wps/b2bcontent/PDF/RV_Tires_Brochure.pdf and the calculations found on other posts here to come up with my steer and tag recommended tire pressures, but I'm not at all sure about the drive tires. I have a Newmar Dutch Star 4325 and...

Hello, we have a 38’ class A F53 With the usual f53 chassis ride issues. We are looking to downsize but still be able to tow my jeep Gladiator. We we were at the Denver RV show just today and looked at a much smaller THOR Delano 24RW with the rear bed slide and the drivers slide. Occc...

I’m helping a friend decide on a trailer and I’m interested in hearing about real world experiences pulling a trailer with a 2023 or newer Chevy Colorado Z71 with Towing Package. I know about calculating weights and such and we are looking at trailers well below the 7000 lb. Rating of the truck...

I’m looking for actual tongue weight for a late model Flying Cloud 30rb. Can anybody give me real life input? If you’re able to, what hitch are you using? Tks!

can't seem to find this anywhere!

I have a 2001 Four Winds Funmover on a Ford E450 chassis that goes through tires like popcorn. I just changed three tires yesterday that had only 2 1/2 years and about 5,000 miles on them. I was running Goodyear Wrangler truck tires, which did OK for awhile, but they were starting to go. Is...

I want to purchase a BT Cruiser 5260. This is floor plan I want and the length of motorhome I want. However I have a 4400 pound Jeep I need to tow behind it. I think this will be a bit much for the Ford E-350 even though I know it is rated for it. I would prefer to have a E-450 chassis. Does...

Any one have a pin weight on a 337 that has actually been weighed?

We are buying a new 2025 Grand Design Solitude 370DV 5th wheel. When you weighed your new to you 5th wheel empty, how close was the weight of the pin compared to the brochure? We will be traveling quite a distance to pick up the Rv from the dealer and I plan to go and weigh it right away...

The manufacturer's sticker on my dual-axle travel trailer says GAWR is 3500 lbs for front axle 3500 lbs for rear axle How should I interpret a CAT scale result that only provides a single "trailer axle weight" of 4480 lbs.? Split it evenly across the two? (I know I'm within specs, but just...

We recently took delivery of a new "leftover" 2024 Prime Time Crusader 265 MLE. It's a floor plan that really works well for us, in a relatively compact package. Ironically, it's marketed as a "half-ton towable", which is kind of a joke as we all know. In my case, it's barely "3/4 ton...

I have a stock 2023 Isata 5 28SS that I’m looking for certified scale weights. My coach is in storage and I’m having king shocks built but they need the front and rear weights to customize the valving in the shocks. Be nice for someone to post their weights for the front/rear. Thx

I just bought one used. Towed it home empty and hit the CAT scale on the way. GD says the rig is 7000 lbs with 1120 lbs on the pin. Mine empty weighed 7200 and had 1200 on the pin. This included full 30 lb propane bottles and a lead-acid battery. So despite all the words to the contrary, the...

Lots of folks here are very knowledgeable about weights, balance, and hitches. I'd appreciate hearing what you think of this setup. The vehicles are: F-150 a45" wheelbase, 4x4, supercab GVWR: 7,050 Payload: 2123 GCVWR: 14,300 Tire size: 2375/55R20 Cold inflation: 35 PSI Fastway E2 hitch with...

I haven’t tried this, but it looks easy and simple.

Does anyone know what the max weight on the pin? I know they say 20% of the RV. I have a Solitude 417. The GVWR is 19000lbs. That tells me 3800lbs. Well if you add a generator and a clothes washer machine. You will be at max before you put you clothes in closet. Well I have a generator but no...

Does anyone have an idea of the wet weight for my 2017 FR3 29DS? I realize it all depends on what you put into it, but thought maybe someone has weighed their rig.

Hi everyone, My wife and I are new here and are needing an answer about the actual dry weight of a 2025 Hemisphere Hyper-Lyte 22RBHL. Some sights advertise 6148 lbs and other sites advertise 5413 lbs. Alot of these sights are Forest River dealers. Which is the correct dry weight? Thanks in...

We've been looking at 39RKFB's as our next 5th wheel, but have one concern. My wife has neck issues and when sitting in the recliners facing the TV, it's higher than our current Grand Design 5th wheel. My wife is concerned that it would bother her. It looks like a person could lower the TV...

I see more and more references to "dry weight". This number means NOTHING in terms of towing. Please use GVRW when referencing towing weight. Dry weight is the weight when the trailer was new and as it left the factory. That will NEVER exist again. Things such as batteries, propane...

Hi all, I'm getting opinions on towing my 2015 Rubicon 2500 with a 2013 f150. It has ALL the towing features you could ask for plus a 6.2l engine. It's has 373 rear end as well, so please opinions are welcome.

Hi All, I am interested in a 2720 TM that has a CCC of approx. 800 lbs (see photo below). Since I am not coming from the 'soft-shelled' pop-up world, but rather from the tents ecosystem, I have no idea if the 800 lbs CCC limit is too restrictive, just right or exessive? (We never had to...
