OK- I get to post again since I have a new trailer!
Empty- still the same
Front 4560
Rear 3020
GVW 7580- this is 20 lbs less that last time, I doubt I lost weight, probably less fuel!
Hooked up
Front 4540- dropped 20 lbs from front axle, shifted to rear of course, just a spit back of center on the rear axle
Rear 5560- Yep, thats a 2540 lb hitch weight! Still well under the 6200 lb GAWR for the rear axle
GVW 10100 and yes that is over the 9900 GVWR, so I am officially no longer allowed to participate in weight police discussions and my badge has been revoked!
Trailer axles- 7720
Total Trailer weight is 10,260 lbs and that is with the front storage all full and nothing in the rear bedroom or fridge or any other supplies, I figure it will balance out (for every thing we put in the back we will add something in the front bedroom or closet, etc)
Trailer GVWR is 12,250 so we have plenty of room to grow as long as I do it evenly and don't add more hitch weight I feel pretty comfortable.
GCW (Gross Combination Weight) 17,820 lbs
This pulls well and definitely is more noticable than my old 8000 lbs trailer and at 35' vs 28' long and 13' vs 12' high it is a lot more wind resistance and definitely gives the truck a workout! Not 'hard' to pull but definitely makes it grunt a little more to take off on a hill and get up to speed and also really puts a dent in the fuel tank on the highway at 65!! No faster though, 60 is my normal, 65 is max.
