I have a 89 22 ft Layton by skyline
What I'm looking for is the empty gvw and the cargo capacity and tongue weight . I have looked on skyline's site , no help at all.
There's tags on the frame from the frame manufacturer and Skyline but no GVW , cargo capacity or T/W
Any help is appreciated
Picture below shows my rig
Hey y'all
Sorry for the tardy response but I thank y'all for the information and every comment brought me to the information that I was looking for axles are 3500# rated so that's 7000 lbs tires are 205 75 15 ld range d tow vehicle is 95 RAM 2500 Cummins 8800# gvw with 18,800 Gross tow capacity during our travels I got a chance to run it non cat scales i had 1000# in the bed TW was 489 total was 12,300 lbs so I'm right around 5000 lds
Once again thank y'all for the help
Try looking inside of the cabinet and closet doors. Some makers put the tags inside.
For what it is worth, I have a 1996 Fleetwood Prowler 22LU (dual axle) that has a similar look and vintage to your trailer. They call it a 22 ft trailer, although the slanted front makes it a bit ambiguous where you should measure to. The sticker on the side is fading (VIN almost gone) but I recently documented it all for future reference before it is all gone. I have upgraded from B load range to D load range. But this info might give you a rough idea:
Trailer GVWR 5200 lbs
Original Tires ST 205/75R14B @ 35 PSI cold
Currently Using ST 205/75R14 Load range D Carlisle @ 40 PSI cold
Original Rims 14x5.5
You won't find any published data, because I don't think they did that back then.. Maybe GVWR at most?
At this point in it's life, it weighs what it weighs, so drag it over some scales since you have it hitched up and as long as you are comfy towing it, it should all be good.
Take a look at the tire weight ratings.. At least that will give you an idea of how much they can handle. My guess would be that your axle ratings are probably #2500-#3000 each.
Figure on not going much over #5000 and you should be okay. Everything is over 35 years old now, so gotta take that into consideration too..
Good luck! Mitch
That's a good Idea
the only thing I can suggest is figure out what axels it has and the ratings, that plus 10% will give you the approximate gvrw. you can go across a cat scale to get the weight, do your truck with you and a full tank of gas first, front and rear axels. then hook up and pull on so just your rear axels will be measured, get that, then pull the trailer on so just the trailer axels are on it and get that weight. the difference of your empty rear axel and loaded is your hitch weight, then add that to your trailer axel weights to get the current weight of your rv.
