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
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
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.
