The salem hemisphere bunkhouse 356QBQ and the Primetime Crusader 360BHS both have pin weights of 1700#
Is that "Dry" Pin Weight, no propane, no batteries, no personal equipment / contents?
If that is "Dry" Pin Weight, loaded ready to go Pin Weight will typically be about 35% more or around 2,300 lbs.
Also remember adding options to the 5er adds pin weight, larger refrigerator, 2nd A/C, Generator and such.
For example, we fulltime so the we have more stuff, but our last 5th Wheel had a brochure Pin Weight of 2,450 lbs. and an actual measured Pin Weight of 3,700 lbs. (We did not have a generator, but we had the larger refrigerator, front bedroom A/C and such which add weight to the brochure weight)
Have not weighted current 5th Wheel yet, be we will in the near future.
