    Weight distribution hitch

    Got a new 2019 f250 super duty to tow trailer. 28ft. And about 8k lbs. The truck has a weight distribution hitch already on it from the tow package with anti sway. Do I need the weight distribution hitch with anti sway bars on the trailer? Used to fifth wheels. Thanks!

    Propride with straptek weight tensioner

    Hello. I recently bought a used PP3 hitch. It came with the low-clearance Straptek weight tensioners intended for use with an Airstream trailer, to prevent interference with the front compartment door. (I don't have an Airstream.) My impression is that the jacks allow you to reposition the...

    GVWR vs Towing Weight

    I need a little clarification from the community. GVWR is the maximum weight the trailer can weigh...while standing(unhitched) or while towing? Ex. My trailer weighs 7600 pounds, tongue weight is 960 pounds, trailer weight while being towed is 6640. The GVWR for my trailer is 7600#. Since...

    These weights cant possibly be right.

    We just stopped at CAT scales and weighed according to what we've been told the truck and trailer hooked up to the weight distributing hitch, the truck and trailer without the sway bars attached, and the truck alone. I input all the information into the calculator that was linked on this site...

    Any advice on my weights Geo Pro G19FD

    Reweighed at Cat scales, and I am at the top of my GVWR. Do you Senior Members see anything grossly wrong. I think its pretty dialed. Maybe not a lot to say? The trailer pulls great, perfect level, purrs along. Im heavy with the water, but will try and travel without water, which will help get...

    We are shopping to move up to Class A from Class C. Size, comfort-level and cost have us looking seriously at the GT5 31L5. We have to be able to tow our Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, so available weight for towing is a concern. If I'm reading the information correctly, we'll have 5,500 lbs...

    Axle weight rating versus GVWR

    My 2019 Cherokee Wolf Pup 16BHS has a posted GVWR of 3,877 lbs. The axle's sticker shows a weight rating of 3,500 lbs. At first I thought this could not be up to code, but then I wondered if this is within weight ratings because subtracting the trailer's hitch weight of 377 lbs from the GVWR...

    My REV is Over Weight

    I just weighed my 2016 REV with nothing in it at all, even gas hand on empty. The front axel was fine but I am 30 lbs over on rear axel with nothing in it. So if I add clothes and food it will be 200 to 250 over in the rear. Does that seem ok? Safe?

    A Weighty Issue with My Roo

    I love my little Roo 17 and it has everything my wife and I need but it didn't come with much carrying capacity and with all the modifications that I have made over the last couple of years it was way overweight. I took it to the CAT scales to see how bad the situation was and found out that...

    Don't Get Me Wrong, I'm not sayin we're Overweight

    But it seems if me and DW were to do a little diet, we could load up the camper with more Snickers and Milky Ways.

    Front basement storage question

    I have a 310GK, and the front storage (basement) area has on several threads been used as a "garage" area and sorted as such. Question is, how much weight can one store in this area safely? I have a mechanics toolbox (3' wide c/w drawers) to store tools and would like to put in this front area...

    Roo 233s vs. Minilite 2509s - WEIGHT ?'s

    Hey guys, Getting past the canvas vs. hard sided debate, I'm considering these above 2 models for my family of 4 (DW, and 2 DDs). Spec wise they are very comparable; both I believe would be heavy tongue weight campers. The 2509s can be mitigated somewhat by that large area under the bottom...

    Soliciting Feedback on Hitch Weight / Loading Strategy

    Hi Everyone, I'm relatively new to truck and travel trailer ownership. In the past, we had a couple small trailers (Chalet, Trailmanor) that we towed with a Dodge Durango SUV. We recently purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4X4 and 2019 Flagstaff MicroLite 25FBLS, and I think it's not as ideal...

    Are we all overweight?

    Well..we packed up “Harvey” our 2016 Sunseeker 2400R for a three and 1/2 week trip to the Canadian Rockies. We left home in the Napa Valley and I decided we should stop at a CAT scale in Williams just off Hwy 5. We had a pretty full tank of diesel and a full tank of fresh water (I knew that...
