I drove to Love's today and used their Cat scale. I have a 2002 Dodge 3500 (dually) and a 2007 Hitch Hiker II LS 32.5 FKSBG.
My truck weights with a full fuel tank, no tools, no tailgate and me in the truck are:
steer axle 4540
drive axle 2820
gross wt. 7460
My weights with trailer, B&W companion hitch, two batteries, two full propane bottles, no water, spare tire, no food or clothing, no lawnchairs,no grill, no tools, no jack.
steer axle 9960
trailer axle 9740
gross wt. 19700
I was very surprised at the gross weight since Nuwa posts an empty weight of 10,554. My trailer weight is 12,240 loaded as described above. Never used a Cat scale before today, so I assume I was positioned properly.
