weight

I built a caddy for my hitch and bars. I put runners on the bottom so the floor is above the jamb of the garage door and the full plate keeps the scuffs and dings away from the floor. When in use, there’s lots of space for the jack pad blocks. I bought a used camper with a lot of issues around...

I bought a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.6L gas with 10 speed Allison transmission. It was time for a new vehicle so we bought it to replace our 2008 Ford Expedition with over 237,000 miles. I’m attaching the door sticker for y’all to help me figure out what’s a reasonable size and weight 5th...

I use an Equal-i-zer brand WDH and anti-sway hitch. I've recently read several stories about the WDH, when going over inclines like a step entrance into a gas station or rough roads, causing enough stress between the tow vehicle and the trailer frame to cause the trailer frame to bend. I've seen...

Doing a survey for folks that have a FR3 34ds. What is your UVW (unloaded vehicle weight)? And if you know it, your total cargo carrying capacity? I have a 34DS 2021 with the V8 but I am missing the sticker that has the UVM/CCC information on it. I realize that they are all slightly...

Hi, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. We just bought a 2015 Forest River R-Pod M-182G pull behind camper today. This is our first camper and so I am needing to learn what I need. My 2018 Toyota Tundra user manual says I must use a "sway control device" since the camper is more...

GM: Currently towing a FRiver Surveyor 251RKS, loaded weight is 7500 lbs. Tow vehicle is a 2020 F250, 6.2 gasser. Current MPG is 7.8 mpg when towing. IF I upgrade to a loaded 9,500 trailer weight, what will my MPG be?

I have a 2015 v31 Vengeances toy hauler. Does anyone know the max weight capacity of my slide? Thank You

Hey forum. I read an old thread I couldn’t reply to. Reviving it here. I have a 2022 Roo 19. And my TV is a 2020 Grand Cherokee V8.It has the air bags stock so the suspension does adjust. Tow spec is 7200 lbs in this model. GVWR 6500.Tongue weight should be 650lbs. I have a WDH from Equalizer...

We have a 2022 Wilwood 320bhds. I am asking if anyone knows the weight capacity for the drivers side fold up bunk in the bunk house? I have been searching around for it but can't find it. My petite daughter usually sleeps up there but this time my son is bringing a friend and I need to rearrange...

I'm interested in the weights of an unloaded 28SS with the Xplore package and 4x4 if anyone has done it. Thank you

Does anyone know how much weight FR recommends to have in a 2021 mini lite 2509s slide.

Greetings, I currently have a Freedom 2318G and love it, but I'm thinking of getting a 2022 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 19BH and pulling it with my Ford Maverick. The Geo Pro is 3200lbs UVW and has a hitch weight of 410 lbs, while my Ford Maverick has a tow capacity of 4K and a hitch weight...

Anybody know the difference in roof weight of the A-frame camper Model A122 as opposed to A215?

Greetings! This post is about weight and I'm interested in feedback regarding: Accuracy. Are we misunderstanding any of these ratings or calculations? Experience. Are you, or have you, exceeded a weight rating? If so, have you had any issues? Data. How much cargo are you carrying? I wonder...

Two methods of measuring tongue weight: 1) On a truck weigh scale, like at the dump, weigh tow vehicle (loaded) with trailer (loaded) attached but without the trailer wheels on the scale. (A) Then disconnect trailer and measure tow vehicle by itself. (B) Then A minus B = tongue weight...

I’m comparing WDH with sway control for a 178bhskx and am wondering if a curt model rated for 6-8k weight would work well I’d heard that using models designed for heavier loads may not I would also welcome anyone’s experience with other brands thx

Hello, I have a 2024 no bo 20.3. Been debating on buying a dirt bike to take while camping anyone know or have any exp with installing a hitch receiver on the rear bumber of the trailer ? If so how much weight is it safe to put on there. I can move the spare tire to help offset the weight...

I'm on the road, loaded for a 3-month trip. This is the first time I've taken a long trip since I bought my used F150 w/HDPP, and the first opportunity to get weights at a CAT scale. As many readers know, the standard process includes weighing the truck without the trailer. (See...

ME AGAIN!!!! I know you can walk on the roof of a 2018 39A, but what is the weight limit?

Just signed contract for 31ss, should arrive in a couple weeks. Will want to set tire pressure for the 500 mile drive home; need to know approximately front/rear weighs (I will weight it at feed store once home). Can anyone share their actual weights?

Loving our new 18RRBL. Had it out a few times already, very short trips, 1 on shore power and the others boondocking (natl park campsites without power). I am moving beyond the stage of "you don't know what you don't know" which is exciting. I've found a ton on the forum and you tube...

Hi all, first time posting here so apologies if this isn't the correct place. I just have a quick question regarding the proper tongue weight calculation for my weight distribution hitch. I just purchased a 2018 Salem Cruise Lite 201BHXL. I read it's on-paper specs that it has a factory tongue...

Hey everyone, new to RV life. I've gotten tons of great information here, but remain confused about a sticker on my camper. The sticker lists the GVWR as 500 lbs lower than expected. I see that sometimes the advertised GVWR is not accurate, and am ok with that. We expected a GVWR of 4500 from...

Has anyone got an actual pin weight from a scale on their 385TH? What dis you have in the back when you weighed it?

Saw this in a local department store parking lot today. A Ram 1500 and a LOOOOOOOONG trailer. Don't think there's much, if any, more rear suspension travel. Another look: At least the trailer is level, sort of. I think they turned the drop shank upside down so the trailer a-frame...
