I had a VERY rude awakening when I drove onto a CAT scale with our Eagle Cap 850. :E
I bet you did and I also bet that weight is in the back of your mind constantly as you drive down the road.
There is a big difference between towing a pull behind or a 5er, and having a barge right up next to your back window and towering over the cab too. Weight is always an issue as well as horizontal and vertical Cg.
Why I went to a pop up from a hard side Lance, weight and handling and I have a one ton long bed diesel and I could always feel the inertia of the Lance going down the road and in the wind. heavy cross winds were always a sweaty palm experience or a dash into a rest area and a trip to the camper for a nap.
I'm curious what a Host Mammoth weighs. I bet it's 5,000 pounds wet. What a barge.
