Okay...Just got back from the scale. What a suprise!
2008 Silverado 3500 SRW D/A CC w/full fuel, tool box, B&W Hitch, Myself and DW
Fiver is 2008 Arctic Fox 27-5 pretty much ready to camp with full propane tanks, two batteries but no water.
TV without fiver:
Steer Axle: 4400
Drive Axle: 3600
Total Wt of truck w/o fiver is 8000
With fiver:
Steer Axle: 4400
Drive Axle: 5720
Trailer Axle: 7920
Pin Weight: 2120
Total Trailer Wt is 10040
Total Gross of truck when towing is 10120 (120 lbs over GVWR)
Combined Vehicle Wt is 18040
Curious thing is that the advertised pin weight of the fiver is only 1500 lbs. I didn't think I had a total of 600 lbs in the trailer much less having it all on the pin.
