weight

Well I found a discrepancy on the stated dry weight on my 2017 Catalina. The side label with the tire information has the dry weight as 3493 lbs while the Vin sticker on the front left side of the frame stated the dry weight as 6042 lbs. That's just over a 2500 lb difference, yikes. If I was...

Hello! We are considering the Cherokee 294RR model and in looking at the specs on the website, I see that the GVWR is 11380lbs with a hitch weight listed at 1180lbs. Am I correct in thinking that this hitch weight is based off of the GVWR and not the 6879lb UVW? So with that UVW the hitch...

I have given to me a brand new curt weight distribution hitch that is rated between 600 -800lb tounge weight and 8000lb max tow weight. Will this be suited for my epro 19fbs or is it over kill? I would like to use the free one if possible. Also, there doesnt seem to be much room to hook the...

We are pulling a 233s with a 2019 Ram 1500 5.7LT Hemi. It has a slight squat and looks just about level. Is anyone using a weight distribution hitch and does it really help?

I was wondering when Forest River figured the gross weight do they include full gas tank, full gray and black water tanks and full fresh water tank ? just wondering . Thanks for all replies.

My new Husky hitch loudly moans and groans a lot when we move. Is this normal? Can I add a Delrin pad (or something similar) to the contact point on the spring bars to reduce friction and reduce this annoying sound? Thanks.

Has anyone ever weighed the tongue weight on a 268RKS? The spec sheet says 900 lbs but I’m guessing it might be even higher. Has anyone else noticed how far back the axles are located from the hitch? I think that’s why the tongue weight is high.

Is it necessary to install weight distribution bars for like a ten-mile pull?

So I took the rig to an open scale I've passed a million times here in town thinking I'd get some good weights on my setup, only to discover it's a single axle scale. So I wasn't able to really do what I wanted but I went ahead and got some loaded and unloaded numbers anyway just in case they're...

I am wondering if there are any XLT owners that have concerns over their front axel weights. I am running at the max weight and sometimes 500-600 lbs over depending on the fuel level in the tank.

We bought a 2018 Georgetown 31l5 and there were no books with it. How do I find out how much it weighs and how much weight it can safely hold ? TIA

I currently have a 2006 jeep liberty I used to Toad behind my Truck camper. its 4200 lbs which is the max for my current MH. I also have a 2011 and 2017 ford escape but you can't tow either one. I been looking at the Honda Fit manual because I can flat tow it (and it gets 50% more MPH than...

My living room slide has a table and chairs and a fold out sofa. I want to move the table and chairs to my rear wall and put a jackknife sofa on the slide next to the fold out sofa. Does anyone know if the weight would be an issue? Both sofas are heavy, but the table is pretty heavy and if...

Just wanted to post this as information to others. There is lots of information out there saying NO to weight distribution hitches on c-channel tent/pop up trailer frames. Well, I did it and here is my experience, which has been proven over 7000+ KMs of towing. The trailer is a Palomino...

Flagstaff Micro lite 25BRDS, Rockwood Mini Lite 2509s Wondering if any current owners have had the loaded tongue weight checked on one of these Thanks

Hello everyone. Iam new to this site. I am purchasing a 2020 e-pro 19fbs. The literature states that the tongue weight is 410 lbs. I am thinking that this is the max loaded tongue weight due to the fact that max trailer weight is about 4100 lbs. Would this be a fair statement, or is this the...
