3600-3800lbs loaded up. What's your truck rated to carry?
Not even close!!!!
The smallest EC has a dry weight of 3380. With propane and a full water tank the weight will be just shy of 3800#. That does not include options such as an A/C, awnings, generator, second battery or solar. Also add 1000# for cooking gear, bedding, towels, tools, air compressor, cleaning supplies, leveling blocks, lawn chairs, BBQ grill, food/drinks, clothing......
"Eagle Cap is reporting the estimated dry weight for the Model 855 at 2,870 pounds and the estimated wet weight at 3,275 pounds."-TCM 2008
-So like I said, given that manufacturers are stingy with their estimates, I ball-parked adding 800-1000lbs to their dry # since that seems to be the common weight added for "stuff".
So where did you get your weight number for a 2008?
