weight

Looking at the 2021 G16BH and wanted to know how much of the 461 lb. hitch weight spec. would increase by when carrying two full 20 lb. gas tanks, battery and 31 gal. of fresh water. I'm sure this isn't all going to the tongue weight. My 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk V8 HEMI 4x4 with...

Have installed the Curt #17022 WDH on my 22' travel trailer (Forest River Salem). Realize it is overkill for my trailer.....but, did not want to undersize. The incline from my yard to level street is pretty steep. So, should I unhook chains until I get on level street? Am reading that...

Anybody here use EcoHitch with WDH? I saw the description on Etrailer said it is not rated for any weight distribution system. I am trying to buy Class III hitch but im sure what does that mean. It means it wont fit or it isnt recommended Sorry for my bad English

So I just traded in my f150 for a 250 gasser and found out after some research that it is a 3.73 axle ratio which was a bit of a bummer but I am determined to optimize my towing regardless so here is what I have done so far. I went to ChangingGears website to use their tow calculator which the...

This is an update from my earlier post regarding WDH's. I was not able to respond to the other post because it was over 180 days since posted. First off I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions regarding the different WDH's available. Without a WDH I found that my truck towed our Vibe...

I have a new used 2016 Ram 2500 SLT 5.7L. And the 2016 ram trucking specs pdf (first pic attached), shows my 2500 has an gawr of 6000lbs. But the sticker on the door (second attached picture) shows a rear axle gawr of 6200lbs. I am new to ram trucks so I am a bit puzzled over this. Can...

The dry weight rating on our trailer sticker is 2956 LBS. I assume this excludes both propane tanks, battery and possibly the winch. How do I find out which items included with the trailer (like propane tanks, battery and winch) were excluded when measuring dry weight? I found a brochure for...

This just popped up. Anyone have any experience or thoughts ?

We're looking at a used 2008 Four Winds Hurricane 34B and we're wondering about the CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity). According to the Specifications Sheet that's affixed to the inside of the bedroom closet the numbers are as follows: GVWR 20500 UVW 18068 SCWR 308 CCC 1452 Fresh...

Hi fellow rvers, Going to pick up a 2019 Geopro 19bh next week, and I was wondering if anyone has had success using the Eaz-Lift weight distribution hitch with it. I'm mostly concerned to know if the brackets will fit on the A-Frame of the geopro, not a lot of space available up there. thanks jf

The fresh water tank being all the way at the back of the camper makes a pretty big difference on tongue weight when it is full compared to empty. About 200 pounds. Empty: Full: Now I can only get around 51 gallons of water in my 60 gallon "Fresh Water Capacity" camper. (I know -...

Hi everyone. Have a new forest River wolf pup (about 3,400 lbs) that I’ll be towing with a 2018 Chevy Silverado. Lady I bought the trailer from gave me the fastway E2 weight distribution hitch with it so I took it out the past weekend, found some nice flat space to take all the measurements and...

I am trying to find the max hitch weight on the rear of my 2020 Rockwood 2304DS. I want to put a bike wrack on it with 3 bikes. I think I will be fine just making sure.

The brochure lists the unloaded vehicle weight at 6608 and the dry hitch weight at 796. Calculated using Towingplanner.com mine came in at 7100 and 1060. My options from standard are as follows: 12 volt, 11 cu foot residential fridge day/night roller shades 15,000 BTU a/c upgrade 2nd roof a/c...

Hello everyone, I posted this in the no boundaries for them only to realize it's really a towing and hitch question re-posting it here. I just placed a deposit for a no boundaries 19.8 and I'm expecting delivery in about three weeks. This is my first run at travel trailers and the RV industry...

Got my CAT scale weights Friday. Took the truck, fully loaded for travel, and a full tank of gas to the truck stop about 5 miles from the house. I weighed it, then took the combo truck and trailer up with out the WDH bars and then put the bars on, and weighed the combo again. Before the...

I know the correct answer is to use a scale, but I am still waiting for delivery of a new Wildwood Xlite 241qbxl and trying to do some planning. The weight of the trailer is well within my towing capacity even if fully loaded. The part that concerns me is the Tongue weight. I only have 3-400...

Looking for some opinion to see if weight doesn't matter what size of a trailer you would like to have? Is bigger better? or compact and light is good enough?

I have participated in a few tongue weight topics about how to determine tongue weight. I am familiar with the 3 weights needed to get the tongue weight. My 2005 F150 can support 990lbs of tongue weight with a weight distributing hitch. If I buy a travel trailer, load it with what I need for my...

I tow a ROCKWOOD 282TESP with a 2005 Tahoe z71. I want to get a weight distribution hitch and I’ve been looking at the e2 Fastway that has brackets that rest on the A frame. However, I think my frame is too tall for the brackets. Any suggestions or recommendations? Should I look into an...

I recently did a trip using my in laws 2500. Before I left I went to a nearby paving company to weigh the truck and trailer. I used to formula that you see everywhere. Loaded TV- weight of TV with the wheels of TT off the scale. Weight of truck and trailer was 9540 TV was 8860. 9540-8860 is 780...

So our new 2020 Sunseeker 2400WS has a listed GVWR OF 11,030 pounds. We are getting ready for our first road trip around the Olympic Penninsula, and our CAT Scale weight is 11,220.... about 190 pounds over. This is with two adults, two small dogs (25 pounds each), and all our stuff. It also...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me the basement cabinet weight capacity on my 2011 Georgetown 350TS? I'd like to use one of the cabinets for my solar/electrical system but the equipment has some weight to it (2x 200ah LiFePO4 batteries, Victron 3000w inverter, MPPT charge controller, etc). It...

I have a Rockwood 8335SB which is 8300 dry, so likely 9000 when travelling. Which WDH would you recommend?

My TV is a 2017 Highlander. 5000lbs max with a 500lb tongue weight max. The trailers we are looking at are: Per the Forest River web site: 2021 R-Pod 196 , dry weight 3600, tongue 361. & 2021 NoBo 19.5, dry weight 3456, tongue 365. Saw a RP 196 in person, actual dry weight was 3,942, a full...
