How Heavy is Your Cargo on Your Fiver?

Thank you for the replies. I am nervous now about the cargo capacity. We will mostly be doing weekend trips,but I don't want to worry about weight problems. Just very surprised to see this with a fiver.

Were closer to 2500 pounds by the time I add propane, 4 golf cart batteries, washer, and our stuff. We do not really pack heavy, but we do load enough for comfortable living while on the road.

I would say I have around 1200 lbs in ours not including fresh water which add another 400-500 lbs. When we were first looking at fivers years ago we walked away from a Sierra 365SAQ do the 800lb ccc. The next year FR went to 7000 lb axels and tripled the ccc but we had already purchased another unit.

Empty weight of trailer in signature (according to Keystone's brochure, so no propane, battery, etc) was 6,454. On 22 May 2015, trailer weight (at wheels plus calculated pin weight) was 7,740. This is 235 lbs under the trailer's GVWR. Cargo is 1,286 lbs. We were packed for a 4-day weekend.

My DW and I feel we travel pretty light. Fresh water tank no more than 1/2 full. No yard art to decorate, no extra lights to hang off trees. Two zero-gravity chairs and small folding table. No tent/awning to put over the park's picnic table, etc. A Weber Q grill. Basic box of tools. Bocce balls, few other games. I added a device that holds the spare under the trailer and have a custom fabricated receiver hitch welded to the frame in back.

Hope this helps!

For what it's worth, I just traded a 2015 travel trailer because it only had 1000lbs CCC. IMO, small CCC might work for weekend camping but is much harder to manage on longer trips. I got tired of constantly moving stuff from the camper to the bed of the truck and back again to stay within max weight. One thing to consider - water weighs 8.3lbs per gallon. Carrying even only 20 gallons for flushing, hand washing, etc will eat up nearly 170lbs. Only you can decide if this is something you can live with.
