Actually it is not that heavy, #9200 empty. I figure once I put 2 ATV's, 2 SXS, and 4 dirt bikes in and fill it with water I am sitting at almost #16k. at 42'.

"Fuel economy was not as good as I wanted!"

Neither is mine (at 8-9 MPG when pulling 16K); and I'm basically a grandpa driver over flat land.
I can't say what its unloaded MPG is (that only occurs for maybe 30-40 miles at a stretch).

In full disclosure I'm only at / about 2800 miles on the odo.

Finally have the weights.. Full fuel, def, and 1/3 water. I do have my generator and 10 gallons of fuel in the bed. Andersen Ultimate hitch.

Just got back late Monday from a new park close to Freeport,Texas. Windy as hell but it kept the skeeters and gnats away! Bluewater RV resort. This is on the next island west of Galveston.

Hit or miss Roy just like South Louisiana. Early December could be in the 70's then down into the 40's. North wind makes it feel colder on the coast but nothing like Montana! They have some nice RV parks on Galveston also. Snowbirds go down there in droves.
