22E weight

I just thought I would post this because while I was looking I could not find and info on delivered weight and axle weights. I took my Four Winds 22E on a Chevy chassis to the CAT scales. No water, no supplies and 3/4 tank of gas. The Weights were Steer axle 3720, Drive axle 6060 Gross 9780, I weight 175 so you could subtract that for the vehicle only. The only options are spare tire, heated tanks, outside shower and second house battery.

    I have a 2013 22e. I called Thor tech support with vin # and they gave me the dry weight. It was a little over 9600.

    If it was on E-Series, Ford would want at least 33% of total weight on front axle, and you have nearly 39%. This is GOOD! As you add weight for travel and camping, try to make sure 1/3 - 1/2 of that addition is forward of the rear axle. In other words, try to keep that upper-30's%. Your passenger's weight will help. Then weigh again, and this time use a weight-to-pressure chart to set your tire pressures. You're well on your way to a good ride!
