To answer the question about weight? I've never weighed the camper, so going to the manufacturers figures:
2013 Outback 298RE
Shipping Weight = 7447
Carrying Capacity = 1553
Hitch = 795
Fresh Water = 43 (356.9 pounds if full)
Grey Water = 30 / 30 gallon = (2 tanks) (498 pounds if full)
Black Water = 30 gallon = (249 pounds if full)
(Water at 62 degrees F weighs 8.3 pounds)
If loaded to the max:
7447 + 1553 + 356.9 + 498 + 249
Equals = 10103.9 max pounds for the camper.
I'm not loaded that heavy and I always run with empty tanks. Add the battery and propane back in though, it averages out. My guess, somewhere around 9500 pounds.
93Cobra2771 you were pretty close! And to think, they call this camper "Lite!" Makes me cringe thinking what "heavy" would weigh?
