Weight of 2009 S &S montana avalanche 992

I cannot find specs anywhere for this camper. Anyone out ther have one, or know the inside scoop. I have to drive to look at it. Hoping to get 2017 f-350 srw with camper package. Gvwr of 17000#???
  • I remember seeing a picture of one somewhere on the net. Thought to myself, thats a heavy dude. If I remember correctly it was sitting on a Dodge 1 ton dually
    diesel

    If it's similar to the one I saw a picture of, the front upper bunk windows looked like leakers. I'd be real cautious about water intrusion and rot with a unit that old. Of course even if it has issues, if you can get it cheap, it might be worth the restoration effort.
  • Probably About 4000# min wet, yes nice campers but heavy...
    Are you sure about year?
  • Positive about the year. S&S is still in business, though doing a contract for the gov't and making fewer campers for a while. We understand their units are high quality, but relatively heavy. I thought the avalanche got a bit lighter though than previous versions.

    It doesn't have the signatute bubble windows. In fact no forward window in the cabover. Will definitely scope out roof and leaks.
