weight

I was finally able to weigh my F250 CrewCab FX4 short bed at the local Cat scale. Fuel tank full. Two people in cab. I was surprised at how heavy the front is compared to the rear. Bed stays empty. Truck has HD rear springs with HD overloads. The weights are: Steer Axle 4740 Drive Axle 3260...

Curios if anyone has documented the tongue weight of their Flagstaff 25FKS when heading out for a weekend. I know this can very, but with the forward kitchen we all carry a similar amount of food, give or take a hundred pounds. I found that I need to travel with the freshwater tank empty as I...

Hello folks. I just got my hands on a tongue weight scale from etrailer. The tongue weight was roughly 1200 pounds w which is the full 15% of expected weight of of my 8000 pound camper. I have full propane, 2 batteries and my basement is full of the usual stuff we all carry. However...

I'm replacing the Furrion TV that weighs 8# with a Samsung of the same size that weighs 13#. Should I be concerned about the weight difference? I'm sure the mounting bracket can hold it while parked but bouncing down the highway may be different.

We love our 2017 Isata 3 RW. Recently upgraded to Alcoa wheels and looking to swap out dinette for trifold sofa. Will there be any weight savings? I know BC has given this information in the past, but I can't find it. I think I would move the old dinette base in front of the trifold sofa...

Just ran a set of weights multiple ways: 1. WD hitch connected 8 kinks, also 9 and 10 links to compare weight transfer 2. WD hitch disconnected - for tongue weight 3. Trailer and truck separated on their own weighing plates Ran a weight calculation spreadsheet and it showed over for the GVWR of...

If you have wondered what the weight limit is on the top bunk on the BHS, unfortunately I can tell you, it is somewhere between 225 and 300lbs. This summer, we had a bunk bed disaster at 4am, when the top bunk came crashing down. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the frame...

Is it lmportamt for the chains to be complete.y vertical when hitched up? My latest trailer a rockwood 2509s has a battery tray welded to the frame. The chain mounts are about 1 inch closer to the ball than needed. Thus the chains are not vertical but at a slight angle.

Hello all...the wife and I are seriously entertaining buying a Grey Wolf 19SM. Wondering if anyone out here knows what their real world weights are. Specifically I'm interested in the tongue weight... as with a 1/2 ton I am managing payload more than towable weight. Many thanks!!

Hi all, I’m hanging a 42” tv(30lbs) and a soundbar below(10lbs) on the cabinet to the left of the microwave and above the kitchen sink in our 2017 Georgetown 364ts. This is the location of the original 32” Furrion tv for reference. The plan is to cut 1/2” plywood and secure it to the cabinet...

I have a 2020 Toyota Tundra Platinum with 2W/4W drive. I also have a factory towing package on it and according to the owner's manual, I can pull 9800 pounds. I have purchased a travel trailer (Rockwood Roo) and the empty weight on it is 5639 pounds. Tongue weight is 738 pounds. Based on...

I am about to make a decision on moving up from our conventional TH to a 5th wheel TH. According to FR specs, the 2022 Wolfpack 315 Pack 12 would be perfect. The empty weight is 10700, the GVWR is 14000 and pin weight is 2000. According to Ford, my max 5th wheel allowed is 15000. I only carry...

Looking at a new fiver (not FS). advertised pin weight is 2,530#. Door sticker on Denali is 2,930#. Current Wildcat 285RKLX is under 2k, rear end settles about 1.5" Am i asking for trouble?

Hello! We have a 2016 274VFK and are loving it. My question is regarding installing a weight disruption hitch with sway control. We found one that doesn't require drilling into the frame, but what my main concern is the small metal beam that is wielded on the main frame to hold the propane...

Simple question; If the tongue weight on a trailer is around 1,000 lbs, why does the tongue jack need 3,500 lb cpacity? Isn't the tongue jack supporting the same weight from nearly the same location as the hitch? Simple minds gotta know!

Deep in the weeds and way over my head… I'm pretty new here, so apologies if I'm asking a question that has already been answered. (I did search though...) Has anyone been able to stay within the 15% tongue weight? The dry tongue weight is 14%. So basically everything over 34 lbs has to be...

I'm pretty new here, so apologies if I'm asking a question that has already been answered. (I did search though...) Has anyone been able to stay within the 15% tongue weight? The dry tongue weight is 14%. So basically everything over 34 lbs has to be counterbalanced behind the axle. Except...

Hi all, is anyone out there towing their 167RBK successfully without a distribution hitch. I’m towing with a tow package Tacoma with air bags. I have been towing trailers under 4000 lbs for years with no issues.

I cant find online anywhere what the weight capacity is for the fold out beds. My wife and two small daughters want to sleep together so I want to know what the weight limit is for them? or if there is anything you can put under the fold outs that would help support the weight. Thanks.

I have read a lot of threads on folks adding the sumosprings to their toy haulers with flat springs. Along with that info is the fact that all toy hauler springs go flat . I tend to agree with it as the springs settle in that position. So my question is why not just go to the next weight leaf...

We're soon to take delivery of a 2022 Rockwood 2720IK. There is a rear 2" hitch receiver and I'm wondering what others here have been successful in loading onto this receiver via a carrier. My dealer believes that the capacity is 300 lbs, which might only be a generous conservative figure...

Hi all! I am very soon to become an owner of a FR Georgetown 36D7.My first ever RV. Before i do something stupid, am I correct that GCWR - GVWR = weight of toad + all the food and clothes , etc. I will load in the RV? With that in mind… do any of you have anything to help me decide what might...

We are close to placing an order for this trailer. It would be helpful if any of you could post your actual, ready-to-camp tongue weight. Thank You.

I just picked up a VIBE 28BH which states it has a Tongue Weight of 930. Trailer dry is less than 7k lbs and total with cargo capacity is 9,692 lbs. I was wanting to pick up a 1200/12k equalizer because I felt like I was already closing in on that 1k tongue weight of the 10k equalizer and...
