weight

Does anybody have experience with using a Trailer Toad to offload trailer tongue weight from a 1/2 ton F150? We would like to purchase the Forest River 266RLDS but it applies when loaded 1178 lbs tongue weight which is ~600 lbs more than the truck allows with a GVWR limit of 6800 lbs. All...

Has anyone on here ever weighed one or two 20 pound or 30 pound propane cylinders? Just curious to see if the larger cylinders would add too much weight to the tongue of my 2019 Cherokee 22RR? Interested in "Boondocking?"

Saw this at a truck stop while I was refueling. Holy smokes! The dry pin weight on that five’r is at least 2,0000 pounds. No F-150 is spec’d for that high GAWR, GVWR or GCWR. If that guy loses control and hurts someone, their lawyers will look at the door jam sticker and see dollar bills.

We all have seen the little demonstration of that toy trailer on the treadmill. The one where they take weight off the front and put it on the back and get the huge golly-wobbles, right? But have you ever wondered... why? What is the physics behind the instability. Well, I found an nifty...

Hello. We downsized from a Gas 30foot Class A to an Isata 3 24FW diesel. We towed a 2007 2door Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4 down. I want to make sure if we can tow the Jeep with the Isata. I know the hitch says 5000lbs but I also know you have to consider Isata loaded or so I’ve read. I’d appreciate...

i went to the Florida rv super show,the Rockwood geo pro 19fd is my foavorite small TT,the problem that i have is with the tongue weight,after you get two 6v batteries,around 130 lb and two full tanks of propane,40 lb,it is going to be over the 15% recomended,i asked, and the answer was ,to get...

What hitch is everyone using. Trying to figure out what works with the aviators is since it has to clear the hood

We purchased a 2017 Flagstaff 831BHDS new & it’s never towed well, I’ve fought the trailer since getting it, link to other discussion below for a back story. RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Travel Trailers: Flagstaff design harder to tow? I think I may have found the problem & worse (for me) I’m...

Has anyone weighed one?

Hi, I’m new here at this forum, so thank you in advance. I recently purchased a 2018 Sierra 379FLOK and was wondering how accurate FR’s listed hitch weighs are? I’m in the market for a srw truck and first thought a Ram 2500 would do the trick (because I see a lot of them towing huge rigs)...

Forums and Youtube can be fantastic sources of information...its up to the reader to determine if its factual or not. Forums and youtube is also a great place for bad advice or added confusion. The question that seams pretty consistent is how tongue weight is figured and how weights within the...

Howdy Campers, I bought a Rockwood 2707WS with Dexter torsion flex axles. The axles are rated at 4,000 pounds. The sticker on the camper dry weight is 7,300 pounds, and max cargo is 1,347 pounds. So 7,300 + 1,347 = 8,637 pounds...637 pounds over the max axle rating. I am now officially...

A picture is worth a thousand words. I 've read as many threads as I can find on this topic, but not any pictures.

Trying to decide whether my next trailer will be an Rpod or a Wolfpup. My tow vehicle - a 2017 v6 GMC Canyon, is rated for 7000 pounds. To help with my choice, I wish I could estimate how much the aerodynamics of the wider Wolfpup would impact fuel mileage in comparison to the more narrow...

I'd like to know the weights of the Flagstaff 25D queen mattress, dining table bench cushions, and couch cushions. I am trying to determine how much weight I can eliminate by replacing them with an inflatable mattress and cushions so that I can tow a 25D with my Chevy Venture van (tow capacity...

I don’t know if this will be viewed appropriate for the site. However it’s a really cool picture.

I have a Georgetown 351ds with tow rating of 5000 pounds. I'm looking at purchasing a new chevy suburban which has a curb weight of 5600 pounds. I'm sure the hitch has some leeway built in and it would probably handle it but is this a bad idea. Rolling weight vs dead weight is different and...

Hi, I am curious if anyone has ever measured their loaded tongue weight on a Grey Wolf 26DBH? If you have post your numbers below!
