weight

Hi all, anyone know the actual dry hitch weight of the 2306? Thx.

I am thinking about moving up to a 5th wheel in the next year or so and trying to be realistic about my safe upper pin weight limits. I have a 2018 Duramax 3/4 Ton Short Bed. Based on what I have learned, I should have gone with a 1 ton SRW. Looks like this is a common experience. My...

I just read the thread from the forum email asking if the OP can use the dinette when it is retracted and the answer from Forest River is an unequivocal no, that the screw heads could snap off the bottom of the box or something like that. And they said not to put more than 150lbs on that slide...

Anyone take airbags over a good equalizer system? Just bought a used Wildwood but deal didn't include an equalizer. Got suspension salespeople telling me to ditch the equalizer for an airbag system.

Hey everyone! We just picked our 2021 Apex Nano 185BHS. After looking around it in more detail, I noticed that the actual weight of the trailer is significantly more than the advertised dry weight on the Coachmen website. The website indicates a dry weight of 2870 lbs. Our sticker says ours...

We are going to be upgrading to a larger trailer and will need to purchase a weight distribution hitch. Looking for recommendations. The tow vehicle is a Ram 1500 with a max towing capacity of 11,600 pounds. The trailer GVWR is about 6,700 pounds. I'd like one where backing up is still...

What happens if I use 10000 lb weight bar on a equalizer hitch for a 4000 lb camper? Or does anybody have a Anderson hitch for sale for my 72 year old mom? Thanks

Used the CAT scales on our shakedown run (used the great HowTo from @ependydad - thanks!) and got these weight results. The TV in my sig has on it's data plate: - 5000 Tow capacity - 500 Tongue weight - 6300 GVWR - 3200 Front GAWR - 3350 Rear GAWR - 10400 GCWR The camper in my sig has on it's...

I am trying to figure out the weight limit for the TV backer for my 2021 31KQBTS. The TV in the main area would be on the same wall as the TV in the master bedroom (opposite side). The sales brochure stated I could put a 55 inch TV in the main area but I am not sure how accurate that is. Where...

Hey all... I realize that this may sound silly, but I need to clean off the top of my bump-outs on my 353FLFB. Can I “safely” walk on the roof in order to do so without worrying that I’m going to collapse the roof? I’m 195lbs. 🤷🏾*♂️ Thanks again, Greg

So I just purchased my 2021 freedom 2318g popup. Driving home was pretty good. Need a slightly taller ball mount to level it better. For those who use a weight distribution hitch are they worth it? Needed for a popup? Weight of mine is 2400lb dry. Just trying to see if its overkill or a...

Anyone using this weight distribution hitch? It looks very interesting. Any thoughts or experience? I am always looking for upgrades to my system. Here is a link for reference: https://www.weigh-safe.com/product/true-tow-weight-distribution-hitch/

Looking into bringing along my KTM EXC-F 350 on some trips. Approximately 225# dry. Option 1: Professionally installed 2" receiver on the rear of my 2021 TS33. I realize this has weight implications, changing tongue weight, etc. Option 2: Installing a new bumper/grille guard on the...

Funny question but is there a weight limit on the living room slide out? I have some significant relatives and on my DX3 all the seating positions are located in the slide out. I noticed slide out jacks stands available at CW. When should I use these jacks to support the slide?

For some, like me, getting access to a scale to get a reading on the trailer and tongue weight is difficult. It is, however, possible to calculate trailer weights using math and physics. Fortunately engineers have already done the thinking for those of us that have forgotten our calculus and...

I have a forest river salem 171rbxl. Specs: https://www.forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/cruise-lite/171RBXL/2402 Trying to figure out all the weights. UVW = 3836 CCC = 3685 Does that mean I can put: 3836 - 3685 = 151 pounds of cargo in the trailer? And how do the...

Hi, I'm new to all of this and hope you all can help me. I'm considering buying a Wolf Pup 16FQ with a hitch weight of 444 lbs. The max tongue weight on my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe SE is 500 lbs. Does the trailer hitch weight include battery and propane or are one or both included? If neither...

Hey all, so I looked some previous threads and didn't seem to get a very precise answer in regards to wall mounting a TV in the bedroom. The situation is i have a 2020 rockwood signature 8291RK and im sure like many newer units includes the "TV mount here" set up in the bedroom. Does anyone...

We have just purchased a new to us TT. I have read, researched and researched some more. I just don’t comprehend all the numbers and calculations. We have already flipped one TT (dealer set up hitch incorrectly) due to our stupidity. I don’t wish for a repeat. We have taken to CAT scales. Any...

I'm confused. My trailer specs. Weight Dry Weight 4,841 lbs. Payload Capacity 1,933 lbs. Hitch Weight 614 lbs. Is the hitch weight 614 lbs when it is at dry weight or when the trailer is fully loaded?

I clipped this from another forum I hardly ever read.... Think we need weight police? This person was asking if he might be ok.....

Although I'm looking for advice on the Salem 179DBK, I'd welcome any advice on this. My wife and I reserved with a downpayment (none in stock) a 179DBK, but are having second thoughts because our tow vehicle is 600/6000. Starting with the 502lbs hitch weight (from the website, so not including...

We are thinking about buying a new 2019 Rockwood Signature 8328BS. It is 35’ 5” long with a dry weight of 9079 and tongue weight of 1153. It looks like most of the storage space (both inside and outside) is in the front of the trailer (between the hitch and front axle. I am looking for replies...
