This morning,
Front rating, 4400 - actual weight 3620
Rear rating, 6200 - actual weight 6980
Something in the rear is really heavy. LOL

Here's my first camper that I bought in 2016, a 9' 1996 Skyline Week Ender.
I weighed the truck on my way to pick up the camper and again on my way home with the camper. This was the day I bought it.

The tag on it says that in "standard" form it weighs close to 3000 lbs.
Extended cabover, microwave, electric jacks and what ever else wasn't standard it weighed 3760 lbs pretty much dry. 760 lbs in accessories.
Only being 9' it the weight was more evenly distributed front to rear.
I don't recall ever weighing it loaded headed camping.

Here's my 1995 Lance the day I bought it. Again I weighed the truck on my way to get the camper and again on my way home with the camper.

The sticker on my Lance says its max weight is 3234 lbs with 40 gal FW, 43 lbs LP and I can't make out how much weight in food in the refrigerator.
On the scale with some water and some LP it weighed 3260 lbs.
Loaded for camping its weighed 3960 lbs including the built in generator.
Kind of surprising that my 11'3" camper weights 500 pounds less than my 9' camper.
I comfortable with the way things have worked out.
