weight

I am buying the subject TH and was shocked when I realized the actual weight is 10,135 and the brochure weight is ~9200; nearly 1000 lbs lower. This our 5th camper so I realize the actual is always a bit higher than the brochure weight but 1000 lbs is a lot! Other camper I've had were 400-500...

I'm about to put 6 new tires on my coach. Dealer/techs are asking me whether I want normal wheel weights or balance beads in the tires. Anyone have enough experience with balance beads to offer advice? I've heard of them, but never used them myself. Are they better than wheel weights for a...

Hello, We are looking at an FSX 178bhsk. The Northwest model has fewer amenities than the Midwest model, but the NW weighs a couple hundred pounds more and has a higher tongue weight. Does anybody know why?

Hi, I just installed the andersen WDH. can someone tell me if my back is too low? I already maxed out the andersen hitch to the highest. the 4 inc bar. Do I need to call andersen for a 8 inch bar so I can go one higher? Please advise. or maybe no one is sitting on the front car. that is why...

Hi, I just purchased the andersen WDH. I have been watching video on how to install it and take it off. So to take it off you lift the trailer up and take out the plate on the hitch. Ok that part I got. So when its time to put it on again do I just put back the plate and lower it? Or do I have...

Now that I’m stationary dab smack next to a half dozen campgrounds, I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting a set of individual wheel weight scales. But frankly, I’m not even sure where you start shopping for such a thing! I’ll also have to figure out a place to actually do it, of course...

Does anyone weight their tongue before the return trip home. We have stayed mostly in state parks since owning current TT. We want to start doing more boondocking this year. Our TT has the FW tank up front and the GW and BW tank behind the axles, so I can see tongue weight changing quite a bit...

I have the Curt Betterweigh mobile scale and finally got around to doing the tongue weight... and holy crap. [emoji52][emoji15] Any other Wolf Pup 16BHS owners out there got their tongue weights I can see? Either my trailer is quite front heavy (yes, yes I know, single axle far back, I have a...

I have just picked up my EPro 19RD and had the dealer install a Blue Ox sway pro. I brought the rig home and the rear end of my truck seemed to ride very rough bouncing a bit down the highway. When I got it home I noticed that the arms of the WDH are rated at a tongue weight of 750 pounds. The...

I am looking for a new trick and I got a lot of information from another post about the importance of the payload and how it needs to be factored in for the tongue weight. I have been casually looking at the payload stickers on some half ton trucks at the dealership and the Fords and Chevy's I...

Anybody tell me your tongue weight on a 2019 29 WRS toy hauler. I got one of those tongue weight scales and it said right at 1800 LB. without side by side loaded and no water. Took it to a Cat truck stop scale and with side by side loaded it was 1320 pounds 380 pounds less. May have to start...

New poster...bought a 2021 325pack13 recently and am aiming to buy a Polaris RZR 4 seater to take in the back. The garage is 13' (156") and the Polaris is ~12.9' (155"). It weighs about 2000lbs. According to the specs it can carry 4500lbs payload. Questions: 1) Is there any limit to the...

I know this topic has been ran into the ground, but I'm even more confused now after visiting the local CAT scale. For give me in advance for my stupidity lol. I went to the scales twice today. The first time was with just the truck, with the fifth wheel hitch, wife, the dog and a full tank of...

Thinking about possible tow vehicles. Not sure if we will go that route or not, but wanted to do some more research. Does anyone know what the approx. curb weight is for a 2 and 4 door wrangler? Based on a search of the internet for wrangler curb weights, it looks like the 2 door is about...

I know that the advertised hitch weight is 530#, but I was wondering what others have found the hitch weight to be after the trailer is loaded? I am in the market for a WDH and want to buy the correct size. Thanks

3877# GVWR TT, loaded down. Tongue Weight 695#. WDH rated 400-600# tongue, 4000-6000 towing. Concerns? Towed once to local CG with this load, weighed via Haulgauge (now Curt BetterWeigh). Full FW tank accounts for a lot of the overage. Won’t happen again. Plus spare tire moved from rear to...

:roflblack:

Hi, I'm a brand new TT owner and a weight distribution hitch seems to be my last issue as I've checked all other towing weight issues which are a "go" for my 1/2 ton Silverado. I've read and read and read about the 10-15% rule for calculating what you need for a weight distribution hitch and...

Hey Campers - we have a 2018 F-150 Ford Platinum 5.0 gasser and pull a 2018 Microlite 21DS. We camp 4 nights monthly with this combo to many Texas state parks within an hour or two from our house. And have been doing so for 3 years. I am not at all sure how sort out the weight limits from the...

I've seen in different threads and forums, comments about how the weight police could ticket you if you are overloaded on your payload. :confused: My curiosity is getting the better of me and I have to ask a couple of questions. My questions are 1) Have you ever been pulled over or had to...

We recently got a 19dbxl and I am looking to mount a TV. This particular unit has a cabinet face that is designated as the TV Mount Location. It appears that it is just a 1/2inch particle board cabinet face and I'm worried it won't hold much weight. I want to install a 24 or 32" tv of about...

Hello, I'm new to travel trailers and to this form, but very excited! My wife and I bought a Wildwood 19dbxl that we picked up and drove about 30 miles home, mostly on i-75. The trip scared me a bit. The back of the truck seemed really bouncy and there was some definite sway. My setup is...

Hello everyone! My sister and I have a 2018 24WS and we love it! We are short and in our mid 60s and struggle with maintaining control when opening the bunk ends. I’m thinking of having a spring hinge installed to assist in opening and closing the bunk-ends but I don’t want to get to much for...

Been doing alot of research online and on this forum. But Just wondering if all WDH with sway control do the same thing? Which Brand do I get? so many choices.. I got a the trailer hitch weight as 415. so adding stuff to it I will say my hitch weight will be around 520lbs. Now my question is Do...
