weight

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...

Hi all, new to the forum here so looking forward to chatting with you all! Quick question - I've got a 2018 Ram 1500 3.0L Diesel. 5'7" box, crew cab, 4X4, with 3.55 gearing. My understanding is the Max Tow weight is about 7,500lbs. I'm currently looking at purchasing a 2021 Jayco 27bhb...

Hi! I purchased the 2003 Forest River Inc Sierra Sport T26 Toy Hauler and the weight specs on the sticker are not legible. I reached out to Forest River and they “didn’t have the info on the 18year old model”. Does anyone have this model that can provide the specs? I tried searching online and...

Hello everyone. I currently have a 2020 Flagstaff 19bh E-Pro. It weighs just under 3100 lbs UVW. With a hitch weight of approximately 360 lbs. I bought and used a Camco ReCurve R3 weight distribution anti sway hitch from the dealer with the camper. We just ordered a 2021 Flagstaff Superlite...

Hello, My wife and I are looking at a Grey Wolf 22Mkse. We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee to pull it. With the UVW of about 4300, we are well within the 6200lb towing capacity. However, the GVW is upwards of 7500 lbs. I guess my question is how much does the average person add for gear? The 3300...

Hi There, Got a G19FD on order and am considering the upgrade to Lithium more for weight than anything else. Trying to keep the tongue weight <500lbs and out of the factory, it's 418. Already confirmed with Forest River that includes tanks (unfilled) but not batteries. If I load the trailer to...

Hi, Our Jeep Cherokee is rated for towing 4500 (factor installed tow package). We are interested in the 17B but are not sure if it’s a good idea safety wise.... I was reading that we would want to not go above 80% of 4500 but then the 17B is too heavy? Escape said it wasn’t an issue. Please...

Do we know what the UVW or CCC is going to be?

A little help please, does anyone tow over the rated rated weight and how is it? Need to down size from our DX3 and really like the sprinters but my Jeep is 6100 pounds! I know it is probably stupid but had to ask. Thanks and yes be blunt, I can take it. Fred

We are planning on buying a Flagstaff 26FKBS trailer which weight 6,836 pounds dry. My truck weight 7,050 pounds and is rated at 13,200 pounds for trailer weight. A friend tells me that this set-up would be unsafe as the trailer weight is to close to the truck weight and that will make hard to...

Apparently this is a known issue... Unbelievable they did not change the design or just used larger iron. Will have to postpone my next trip as this is a dangerous situation. Not good FR...

Maybe someone has a good explanation for this. We have a Rockwood Mini-Lite 2104S TT and a Ford F-150 TV. We’ve wondered about the towing capability, so we had everything weighed. We aren’t questioning anything about the tow vehicle in this case, just the weight of the camper. We weighed the...

Hi All, we are on our second trailer and still are not sure how to account for the 110 lbs weight of the Equalizer WD hitch. Is it part of the TT, the TV, or is it all on the hitch weight? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

I just bought a 2001 rockwood lite model wdt25 can anyone tell me weight of camper? And tongue weight thanks

I have a 2019 Dynaquest XL and am towing a stacker trailer. I like to run a weight distribution hitch to help with tongue weight. The RV came with a 3" shank hitch receiver and currently I am having to use an adapter to reduce the hitch size down to 2". Id like to get rid of the adapter and...

Does any one have a picture of the fr3 30ds dry weight or curb weight mine is in storage and need a picture showing the empty weight please

I’m a new owner of a 2010 Rockwood Mini-Lite 1809s. I have already received great guidance from this site and I’m sure will be referring to it often in the future. The previous owner did not maintain the roof properly, as the sealant is beginning to crack, and unfortunately, there are small...

It took me a few years to write this post but I've always wondered how other people handled the tongue weight situation on this model: 2008 Cherokee by Forest RiverWolf Pack Toy Hauler Series M-18DFWP. I bought it from a fellow in Chicago who on his first outing was informed by his wife that it...
