Hi All,
I put a deposit on an airstream 29 foot overall length.
Like 5700 lb empty weight, maybe 500-600 lbs tongue weight.
Approximate numbers.

A 5700 lb empty trailer is likely going to weigh 6700 to 7000 ready to go camping. Assuming a 13% tongue weight, your really going to be at 900 or more actually at the tongue. When all is said and done with this trailer, don't be surprised if your tongue is 1000 pounds.
In other words, forget what you read about so called "dry weights".
