After many posts listing and using the term "dry weight", I've finally figured it out. Dry weight is the weight before any beer or other fermented beverages are placed on the trailer. Bob

It seems like a good day to open a can of worms. Just for fun times, I decided to take my camper to the local CAT scales to see the outcomes. This was because the general consensus with the online community is that an f150 can tow a pop up; everything else requires a 250 or above. The second...

OK folks .. I have a 2022 Rockwood Mini Lite 2511s. I pull with a 2020 Ford Expedition with the max towing package. It can pull up to 9400lb. I think the mini lite unloaded is 5700lb. I don't have a lot of stuff in it. Mostly in the front end storage some bins with tools, the grill, etc. It...

I have a 26DBH and was wondering how much weight the roof holds when someone is on top of it. I am a heavy guy and do not want to take the risk of damaging the roof.

~Lippert Electric Tongue Jack~ It seems to me that storing our travel trailer (in winter or between trips) with the full tongue weight (600 lbs?) resting on the tongue jack would place an undue stress/burden on the jack. I have been using concrete blocks and 4X4s to support the tongue frame and...

Hello; Last June I purchased a 2015 Rockwood High Wall Popup 276 from General RV and they had the unit inspected and ready to go when I picked it up. I have taken this popup out maybe 6 times last year. No issues at all I have a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD Super Crew. The ranger can tow up to...

I have seen some conflicting info on the rated tongue weight of the Isata 5 28SS Is it 750 pounds or 1,000 pounds? Or does it ultimately not matter as long as the chassis isn't overloaded on either axle once fully loaded? I have a heavy tilt deck trailer that I put my Jeep Gladiator on and am...

Our TT's GC batteries are getting fairly old so I am looking at moving to LiFePO4 batteries (two 100AH batteries) when I replace them. I see fairly wide ranging prices and I am also seeing a good amount of variation in the weight that the different companies have listed for their batteries...

Do you sell your weight dist. hitch with your trailer when you sell the trailer? Since some of the hardware is on the trailers tongue, do you remove those pieces? My Weight Dist. hitch came with my last trailer. I'm selling it now and would rather not buy another one, If I can keep this one...

I have a 2020 228BHSE PopUp camper with the following specs WeightDry Weight 2,559 lbs.Payload Capacity 1,279 lbs.Hitch Weight 338 lbs. Hence, couple of questions. If I go to a CAT Scale, I will get a hitch weight and a trailer axel weight. If my hitch weight is 800lbs (front cage...

Need some real world advice. Currently we have a FR travel trailer weighs about 8000 loaded. We pull with a 2015 Chevy 2500 HD with the 6.0l gas with no problems and about 7-7.5 mpg. Looking at a great deal on a FR 34 ft Salem Hemisphere 5 wheel (286RL) weighing in max at about 10800...

I pull a 27’ bumper pull Cherokee Grey Wolf with a 1/2 ton Ford F150, crew cab short bed. So, once a year we go to a 13 day bluegrass festival on 600 acres. To get around at our age, we have rented a golf cart. This year we bought one as it’s also nice to get around the property on. We will only...

Here's something I have been wondering about.... Many users come to this forum to ask questions about suitable tow vehicles, and it always seems to drum up a lively debate. When I say "lively debate", I am intentionally mispronouncing "argument between those who believe that everyone needs a...

Hello everybody. I have been on the search for a trailer I'm going to full time in for several months now and have gone back and forth a bunch which ones. I think I'm finally settled on 2014/2015 Silverback 29RE to purchase and already have a couple of candidates I'm trying to get a deal done...

i Was wondering if anyone had the Actual TW for a 210RT after Propane and batteries were added? as well as top of the hitch. I will be going a couple hours away to pick up one and would like to get my WD hitch set as close to correct as possible. thank you. Michael

Did you know that Iowa State Law requires weight distribution on any trailer over 3,000 lbs gross weight? That's crazy! What about when the vehicle manufacturer recommends against a WDH (think unibody vehicle)? What if you are traveling through a state and a WDH is not required in your home...

A group of us have been slowly renovating a 2010 Cardinal 3625RT for the last year to be used as a new home for a friend who lost his (uninsured) home in a wildfire. So far all new paint, hardware, lights, plumbing, furniture/bed, vinyl flooring, tires/ batteries, roof, compartment locks, and...

My wife and I are thinking about replacing our jackknife sofa with theater seating in our 2015 Sunseeker 2860DS. We are hoping to get it with recliners but not power. I was wondering if anyone knows if the weight will be comparable? I've looked at specs for our couch and what we want to replace...

Just curious, I noticed there's a label on the front of our camper that says the dry weight is a little over 3100 pounds. The brochures for the model shows a dry weight of 2884 pounds. That seems like just a bit of a discrepancy (over 200 pounds). I've heard rumors that some manufacturers...

I'm wanting to mount a predator 3500 generator on the rear bumper of our 26k vibe. I plan on buying a hitch mount and a small shell that will hold the generator. The generator and the carrier assembly is gonna add about 150 pounds to that rv bumper. Do any of you know the weight capacity of the...

So on the way home from taking delivery I stopped at a CAT scale to weigh unit before loading it up. Unit has washer dryer and residential fridge. I weigh about 230lbs. and gas tank was full. My weights were steer axle 7520, drive axle was 13640, for gross weight of 21160. Seems light based on...

Been looking for this number for a while without any luck. Figured it might be easier just to ask the forum that has the knowledge. Just wondering what the max weight limit for the overhead cab bunk is. Also what weight everybody normally puts up there and if anybody has had any bad signs or...
