Took my Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel over scales yesterday to get weights.

Total weight for truck and trailer was 16,280. Truck weight was 7820.

Nice to know i have about 1000 lbs at go to reach trailer GVWR.

Also, can go to at 12500 lbs trailer without overloading truck.

Did weighting by weighing truck and trailer, then dropping trailer and weigh truck alone.

Hope all you 5th wheeelers have weighed your load.

 

Sure have! It's the first thing that I do with a new truck or trailer.
Truck=8,040 Lbs gross
Trailer=14,950 Lbs gross

Really easy to do. Wish I had run my old trailer over the scale.

Clyde S Dale, my chestnut brown & tan 5th wheel workhorse is a
1984 F250HD XLT RCLB 4X2 8600 GVW

68,500 original miles (and counting)

2002 Hitchhiker II 26.5 LS 5th wheel

 

Yep, 2nd time it was towed it went accross the scales but still need to do it one more time with just the TT. (that was with TT and boat)

GVW - (27ft TT, 17ft Boat, & truck) 16,300 to 17,000 depending on whats packed

Truck weighs 7100 with me and a full tank of fuel.

Emty truck -------FAW=4,100lbs RAW=3,000lbs (cann't remember without looking in my log book but these are within 100lbs on both axles)

 

When you did the weights. Did you have all your stuff for camping in it. If not, 1000 lbs doesn't take long to reach. especially passengers. I weighed mine and the extra stuff weighed in at 1500 lbs. plus passengers. Won't go there ( wife and son might see).

 

Weigheg mine on the way out to our favorite state park. Weight included groceries, full tank of fuel in truck, bikes, my wife and me. Since we normally stay at parks with Water and electric connections, no onboard water and dump my holding tanks before leaving park.

 

Good - Your weight is great enjoy the camping. TOOOO cold here. expecting 1 - 3 inches of snow and blowing snow.

 

I was really surprised too! My Hitchhiker II 26.5 LS (LS = light weight series) was supposed to have an ULVW (unloaded vehicle weight) of ~7500# and with gear and a "traveling load" of 15-20 gallons of water I had 9500#. Still can't figure out where all of that 2000# came from.

Really shows how important it is to get accurate weights so you're dealing with facts rather than guesses.

 

ClydeSDale--

Was that unloaded weight from the trailer brochure or from the sticker in the trailer?
