weight

Went to the CAT scales to weigh just my TV with my E2 hitch on with no bars, DW and my son... TV loaded as if we were going to hook up and go. I need opinions on numbers. Went through twice just to see if everything matched up. Steer Axle: 3520 (GAWR 3950) Drive Axle: 2560 (GAWR 3950) TAW...

I am fairly new to RV’ing and have not had much experience towing my trailer. I am wondering if I have set up my hitch properly or maybe I need a higher rated one. My TV is Dodge Ram 1500 and my WD bars are rated at 800-1200 lbs. I took my rig to the scales today and this is how the numbers came...

I just ordered a Sherline Trailer Tongue Scale. The pamphlet that comes with it seems very detailed but my question is, once I get a measurement from the scale do I have to add the weight of the elements of my WDH (drop hitch bar and round bars) to that measurement?

Bought a Sherline tongue weight scale to figure out my tongue weight. Took it multiple times. I was around 750 pounds "Semi Loaded" GTW is 7687... I can't imagine me adding much more weight. Maybe a couple hundred pounds near the axles and towards the front of the trailer to get to that 10-15%...

Ok I've read enough great info here to know I needed to check my GCVW. My TV is a 2016 Ram eco diesel 4x4 and TT is a Freedom express 246 Rks. So as we left for a trip I stopped at the scales. Truck from factory is #5400, GAWR 3900 front and rear, truck payload #6900,GCVW is 14500. I can see my...

Just a few questions about the WDH and the LCH. Is a WDH universally required in all travel trailer and tow vehicle situations? I understand the purpose of a WDH is to transfer some of the hitch weight to the steering axle of the tow vehicle. Is there a situation where the travel trailer and...

I need to wash the roof of my 2013 Coachman Catalina Santara Series 282 BHS travel trailer. In order to get a good cleaning of the roof and inspect it as well, I feel I need to get on the roof. I have seen multiple people on RV roofs before. Here lies the problem, I am a big man of 350 lbs...

Hello everyone, just brought a 2016 wildwood xlite after using pop up for 4 years. Looking for a good weight distribution system, any suggestions.

My FRiver TTrailer has a weight sticker on the A frame of 6000 lbs. Does this weight include a full fresh water tank? Empty galley tank, gray and black tank, right? The MSRP does not list battery and 2 propane tanks. Were these Dealer installed and should I add their weight to the weight...

Does anyone have an actual tongue weight for a Surveyour 251RKS? And is your tongue weight based on 2 full propane tanks, battery, and 1/2 full fresh water tanks? Thinking about upgrading my Fastway E2 1000/10,000 weight/sway hitch to a Equalizer 4 point sway 1400/14,000 hitch?

In case anyone cares I had my rig weighed on the way home from Port Aransas, Texas Sandfest. Two people one dog, full fuel, empty tanks less than a quarter fresh water. Clothes and stuff for three days. Pulling my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee STEER AXLE 9940...

We had to sell our RPod due to back injuries that made lifting the very heavy WDH impossible. We now have a Sunseeker MH, but miss having a trailer we can unhitch and leave behind to go exploring. We want to be able to take our 2 young granddaughters camping, so need something that sleeps 4. Is...

I have a 2018 coachmen 261 BH catalina. Anyone know what brand and weight scissor jack they use? I bent one in a driveway and need to replace. My dealer was no help and said they will try to contact coachmen.. Maybe Ill try to contact them myself. I figure i'll get a quicker answer here...

Hi folks. I'm hoping someone can tell me the official weight rating (from FR) for the double bunks in the 2509s. I've been searching but have only seen guesses and guestimates on the discussions I have read thus far and we didn't see a sticker anywhere when we poked around one at the...

In the near future we intend to upgrade from the Tundra (lousy payload) to a Ram 2500 with 3,380 lbs of payload. The wife is not crazy about 5th wheels for a variety of reasons so we will be staying with a TT. I understand pin weights but I was curious as to how much tongue weight a factory...

We have a Rockwood 2514G, the cargo weight capacity is 499 lbs. It has a roof rack installed and I’m thinking about adding a cargo carrier (weight limit of cargo rack is 150 lbs) for extra firewood, beach chairs, etc. We already carry our Clam on top. While I’ve never weighed the current...

Just a newbie question about axle weight capacities and GVWR on my Frontier. The GVWR on my front axle is 3296 lbs and the rear axle GVWR is 3331 lbs. The combined axle capacities add up to 6627 lbs The GVWR for the truck is 5730 lbs. Am I correct to assume those are weight limits for the axles...

I have a 2015 DX3 and was wondering, short of me taking everything out and weighing it, does anyone know how much the furniture weighs in the front slide out? I'm considering replacing all of it with something different. Maybe someone has already made replacements and could give me an idea...

Friend retracted the electric tongue Jack too far in and it got stuck. I had heard warning that this would blow a fuse. It locked up, but it didn't blow the fuse. The button for the light works. Fuse looks ok, no discoloration. I manually extended it with no problem by using a tool through...

Anyone have any info on how much weight the roof on my 2902WS can handle? I am 6-2 245 lbs. Thinking ahead to roof maintenance.

It my f150 2.7 EcoBoost manual says it will tow up 7600 pounds safely, doesn't that mean I can pull up to 7600 lbs safely? With the right tow hitch?
