Brochure weight for my camper is 2826 lbs.
Fully loaded for camping it weighs 3960 lbs.
It takes 100 lbs off my front axle.
Rear axle empty, 2900 lbs. With camper, 10540 lbs.
I think you meant your total weight is 10540 lbs ,not just the rear axle .
Yep, not sure how I missed that. :)
Rear axle with camper 6960.
Thank you.
6960/2 = 3480 min per tire you will be all set. Although i would factor in a bit more on the tires just to have some safety factor.
My rear axle GAWR is 7000, how do I figure out rear axle empty weight?
Go to truck scale, get empty weight of front axle, total, rear axle.
You already have the TC, load up and repeat; front axle, total, rear axle.
You will very likely find all of TC weight is on rear axle (this is true for most of us). Upgrade tires to provide sufficient rear axle capacity (18” and 20” tires available in 129 LR off 4080# ea).
Take a couple of trips and see what you think. You may want the supersprings for an F250.
I am not a fan of airbags for TC’s.
One step at a time.
TC’s can take a bit of work to get setup. Once you dial it in, they are the BEST/ easiest RV’s to live with.
We will help you get there.
