Dual pane windows.....add weight? Reduced CCC?

I was told that for our 35 ft rig, the dual pane windows would add 300 pounds of weight...thus subtracting it from our ccc.

Check the weight of the air conditioner/s on your roof.

Can you do without 'em?..:h

Wow! - Just think of the weight savings!..:C

Like AC, dual pane -is- a "NO BRAINer" - :S - don't leave home without 'em...:W


:C

When deciding on which items to haul around, I'd take the dual pane windows every time over some other junk. I also don't think I'd buy a unit that was that close on the weight.

Yes they will add extra weight but benefits (summer/winter) are worth it

I agree. We wouldn't purchases a trailer without them. ;)

Yes that is an issue. Our new 2017 Bighorn 3575el has a 3K CCC. The larger Bighorn's have a lot less CCC, 2K or slightly less. I see similar things with some of the other mid level trailers that have 7K axles. Example the Alpine 3660FL has only 1880 CCC, Cardinals are low on larger ones.

We are in Arizona for the winter and were loaded pretty much to our limits coming down. If we had a trailer with only 2K CCC we would be way over weight. Our trailer has a yellow placard in the entry door jam the list CCC as it left the factory just like newer pickup trucks. Chris

We were told at Hershey by a Manufacture rep that they weight between 400 and 600 lbs extra and adds about one R factor.

Dual pane windows are a must for us. They keep the condensation off the inside of the windows when the temp drops and one has to use a heat source and help with noise abatement. However, if you only camp in warm weather, you may not want them.

Besides....if dual pane windows weight is an issue then you need bigger truck

And unless Full Timing CCC shouldn't be that big of an issue.






Then again
When we FTd I didn't use up all of our CCC (close) but I could open any cabinet/drawer/compartment door and SEE everything without having to DIG

I've seen 'weekenders' pull in and start unloading and like a circus clown car the stuff just keeps coming out and coming out as if no end in sight :B
