Here is some data on our trailer:
Advertised weights:
Dry Weight - 9761 lbs
Hitch weight - 1942
Axle weight - 7819.
Factory dry weight - after factory options - 10,015 lbs
Axles rated at 5200 lbs each.
Length - 33' 11"
Truck weight is about 8050 lbs with me in it - 3/4 tank of fuel and hitch in truck
CAT scale
Steer Axle - 4900 lbs
Drive Axle - 6060 lbs
Trailer Axle - 9220 lbs
Gross Weight - 20,180 lbs
2 passengers in the truck, full tank of diesel (36 gallons) and 1 small dog. Trailer is "packed" for 2 weeks of camping and about 1/3 tank of water.
Add on’s to the original weight - Both propane tanks full, additional 12V battery and 3 slide awnings.
Glad I purchased a 3500HD diesel truck to pull the rig. Our truck GVWR rating is 11,600 lbs.
