I am trying to find out the dry pin weight on the Winnebago Scorpion 4014. Most websites list it at 3000lbs. Some are saying as high as 4500lbs. I tend to disagree with the 4500. That's beyond even dually territory. I have no experience with toy haulers but can anyone theoretically explain to me how much pin weight is reduced with a 1500 lb sxs in the garage? I know you add to gvwr but pin weight is actually reduced. I have a 2015 Ford F-350 cc lab srw.Joe

Most of us have found there is very little change in pin weight. At nearly 45' I don't think you'll see any reduction in weight, if anything it might transfer more. Haven't heard much about that RV so not sure you'll find a direct answer. I'd call the factory direct and see about talking to the regional sales person.

For what it's worth, my 41' Voltage has 3500 pounds on the pin as per the CAT scale with nothing in the garage and 1/4 tank of water. Maybe the dealer will let you take it to a scale.

Expect 20-25% of the toy hauler's GTWR to be on the pin when water and supplies are loaded. The pin weight will not change much when you load toys since the axles are set fairly far back on toy haulers.

Website lists:Dry Weight ------14,850#Dry Hitch ------- 3,000#That figures out to a dry pin weight percentage of 20.2%GVWR -----------20,800#20.2% ---------- 4,201.6#You do NOT have enough truck''''''''2015 F350 CC SRWGCVWR -------23,500 (MAX....lower if gas)MAX Tow -----16,000 (Lower rating if gas)If truck can not stay within ratings of the GVWR of trailer than trailer is too heavy
