Some real world weights from Mike over on the Cardinal forum.
Ok weighed today with this thing packed for 9 months of travel and 1/3 tank fresh water.
Pin weight 3,124
Total Trailer weight 15,674
Gross combined weight 25,179
2014 3850RL "Alice"
2013 Silverado 3500HD Dually D/A 4x4 LTZ
He towed it with a SRW 3500 Chevy and upgraded to a duallie.
I quote from him.
"These larger trailer being so tall now 13 feet and with the manufactures moving the axles back more and more to put the weight on the truck to save a buck on tires is not a good thing and is making a very unstable environment while towing. Check your weights, do the research before you buy. These trailers are getting very heavy!"
