More typical weights are similar to the Keystone 29 footer mentioned by Fla-Gypsy a couple posts back. According to Keystone the Hornet 29RLS weighs over 6500 pounds dry, a thousand pounds more than the same-length trailer you're pulling now.
And that's before you've put so much as a drop of water in it...
