weight

We currently have a Sunseeker 2500 TS that we weighed with cargo, people, animals, and water at 13,200 lbs. We are thinking about trading up to a 2860 DS which has a dry weight of about 600 pounds more than the 2500 which would put that vehicle with the same cargo at about 13,800 lbs. This...

Hoping someone can help us out here with some info. We have a 2020 Kia telluride, tow capacity 5000, tongue max 500. Purchased an Apex Nano 208bhs (3942,516 tongue , found that out after we got it home) that the dealer assured us that the tow set up would be fine. We have a recurve r3 WD hitch...

Hello I am looking at buying a half ton truck possibly and stumbled upon the RAS suspension to help with sag. I first wanted air bags but seems like they ride really rough when empty even with very little air in the bags. I am wondering if anyone knows how much weight the RAS can handle before...

I can't find specs on weight for a 2008 wildcat t22. Anyone can help?

Hello all, Just trying to set up my trailer and tow vehicle. I have a 2017 Wolf pup and 2018 F150 Supercrew. Bought a tongue tongue scale (Sherline) and measured 600lbs at the ball. Trailer has basic gear in it, so not even loaded up. Can’t understand how this can be. Any ideas?

Hello, I was wondering if anybody has actually measured the tongue weight of their Grey Wolf 23DBH. I know it will be variable on loading and other factors but curious what people have found. Thank you in advance.

What does everyone use for lubing there WDH to reduce noise. Last trip we turned heads and woke up the campground from noise of the WDH.

I have a 17' electric Dometic awning for our MicroLite 25FBS. We would like to hang a sun shade/privacy curtain from the channel in the awning roller, but I cannot find anything in the Flagstaff Owners Manual or the Dometic Awning Manual about weight limits to hang equipment from it. Has...

Hey Hive Mind! Just got a new trailer (Ranier / Vibe 26DBR). Dealer didn't help me out (aka wasn't completely forthcoming with information), so I made a quick swap from a RAM 1500 to RAM 2500 after 1 white knuckle drive and doing math. We've been having some issues with "bouncing" or...

I pull my Wildwood Xlite with a 1500. With the truck and camper fully loaded I’m near the towing capacity. I’ve been using a Nashbar tailgating bike pad to haul 4-5 bikes but notice some sag (see photo). I’m thinking about getting a truck bed bike rack but will have to get one that requires...

Are there any Vibe 21BH owners out there who have weighted their 21BH? I'm looking for some real 'loaded for travel' weights and tongue weights. I have not completely loaded ours yet so haven't taken it to a CAT scale yet. But I have scaled the tongue weight and its only 410 lbs. Forest River...

Hello. Newbie here. I just bought a Geo Pro 19BH. It has a dry weight of just over 3000lbs with a hitch weight of 360. The CCC is 772lbs. My truck is a 2020 Sierra 1500 AT4 with a towing capacity of 9200lbs. The truck manual says I don’t need a WDH below 7000lbs. Any thoughts on if I actually...

Can I get some more sage advice. My perspective is: on my trailer, I know Im 400 lbs axle GAWR overweight (only 150 lbs without water), a little more than I was last year when I posted my scale tags. And over GAWR Trailer total by 610 lbs., but that spec is without hooked up nor supported by...

There is a sticker in the Garage area that states pin weight should be kept between 10 to 15%. I am under the impression that 5th wheels should be 15 to 20%, please advise.

I desperately need an actual tongue weight for a 16fq, either standard or black label. I have empty gross numbers from a few four jamb stickers but every unit says 444# tongue regardless the configuration. Is that just a calculated maximum? Any assistance at all would be greatly appreciated.

My wife wants to know how many more pairs of shoes and clothing she can buy without putting our Cedar Creek 5th Wheel overweight. From reading other posts, I think I got this right, just want verification. The GVWR of the 5th wheel is 16,407 lbs Two axles, each GAWR 7,000 lbs (I am not...

We have a 2018 MicroLite 25fbs with a manufacturer installed ladder. No where on the ladder or in the manual can I find the weight limits for the ladder and the roof. Can anyone help me with this?

Ok, my wife and I have searched all over for information about the weight of a short Queen. I found one website that said the typical RV mattress weighs 50-75lbs. Not sure this is true but I have nothing else to compare it to. We don’t have our new TT yet to weight it ourselves but I wanted to...

Coworker showed me the new camper his son just got. His son says he should be fine he has air bags and just needs to get some stake pocket tie downs [emoji33] I told him not to let him on the road. He also would like to know any details on it, he couldn't find any model number.

Ok, my TV was a 2019 Chevy Colorado (7000lb max tow cap, with a 770lb tongue weight cap) I figured I would be fin with the Geo Pro 19FBS. So we loaded for the camping trip and headed off. The squat on the truck was about 2" on the back and the front was lifted about 3". I being an old...

Reading a question posted on a non-Grand Design forum got me to wondering, so I contacted the CAT scale company to ask about resolution (the smallest possible change of a quantity which can be reliably measured by a sensor) and accuracy of CAT scales. I received a very prompt reply from them and...

I put a query on the FR3/Georgetown Facebook page asking how much weight the basement compartments can carry because I could not locate that info anywhere. This is the response I received: 15 pounds per square foot across all of the rotocast storage compartments. Please keep in mind that all of...

Hi, we are looking at replacing one of the front living couches with a 65 gallon aquatic tank (approx 600lbs full with stand). It would be located in one of the slides in the front living, which as you know on the sandpiper is one of the slides that doesn’t have all the ‘gears’ and support bars...
