I recently bought a 2019 25brds and figured I would post some real world weights for people who are in the market or maybe curious what the actual weights are, enjoy:

Hi all, I am researching for our first TT and was intrigued by the Wildwood 28DBUD, however turned off by the dry hitch weight. It claims a dry hitch weight of 805#, but a dry weight of ~5900# and GVWR of 7700#. Am I missing something here? Ultimately when specing my trailer, I have been...
Generally we haul a 5th wheel 38 foot toy hauler which is right around 11,000 lbs.
DW is looking at a 2019 GEO PRO 19FD "scooter trailer for weeks when we what to get away fast.
I hate bumper tow units due to sway.

Got a question for the group. I currently pull a 28' Cherokee and we want to upgrade to a 33’ Lacrosse. Dry weight of the Lacrosse is 8100 pounds with a hitch weight of 827 lbs and I'm concerned about my tow vehicle. I own a Ram 1500 with a complete tow package, 3.92 axle ratio, 10,300 limit...
Trying to find information on the weight limit on the cab over bunk. Most search says 350lbs. Online brochure says 440lbs on newer Sunseekers. Our 2650s is not listed on the brochure.
Hello everyone, looks like my first post is going to be one of "those". lol.
Ok, quick bit of background, then I'll get to the point. I currently have a 2011 R-Pod 176 that we camp in a couple of times a year with a family of 4 and an 80lb dog. We love the camper, and we've had zero issues...
We recently purchased a Jayco Eagle 317RLOK and pull with our 2015 Ram 2500 Cummins. All the numbers looked good for pulling. We were a little surprised when we weighed everything and found we’re a little over our GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) by 200 pounds (10200). After researching I...
Can anyone tell me the measurement from the ground to the top of where the hitch ball would be for a 2509s or 25brds? I'm trying to prep a new hitch before I pick one up. Thanks in advance.
Hello to All:
Well, the 2019 camping season will be starting off much sooner this year for me than usual as I'll be pulling my TT down to Daytona, FL starting February 8th for 10 days for the NASCAR Speedweeks events there, followed by seven more days immediately following, at the Atlanta...
Does anybody have experience with using a Trailer Toad to offload trailer tongue weight from a 1/2 ton F150? We would like to purchase the Forest River 266RLDS but it applies when loaded 1178 lbs tongue weight which is ~600 lbs more than the truck allows with a GVWR limit of 6800 lbs. All...
Has anyone on here ever weighed one or two 20 pound or 30 pound propane cylinders? Just curious to see if the larger cylinders would add too much weight to the tongue of my 2019 Cherokee 22RR? Interested in "Boondocking?"
Saw this at a truck stop while I was refueling. Holy smokes! The dry pin weight on that five’r is at least 2,0000 pounds. No F-150 is spec’d for that high GAWR, GVWR or GCWR. If that guy loses control and hurts someone, their lawyers will look at the door jam sticker and see dollar bills.
We all have seen the little demonstration of that toy trailer on the treadmill. The one where they take weight off the front and put it on the back and get the huge golly-wobbles, right? But have you ever wondered... why? What is the physics behind the instability. Well, I found an nifty...
Hello. We downsized from a Gas 30foot Class A to an Isata 3 24FW diesel. We towed a 2007 2door Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4 down. I want to make sure if we can tow the Jeep with the Isata. I know the hitch says 5000lbs but I also know you have to consider Isata loaded or so I’ve read. I’d appreciate...

We purchased a 2017 Flagstaff 831BHDS new & it’s never towed well, I’ve fought the trailer since getting it, link to other discussion below for a back story.
