Dry vs Actual Pin Weights
For those of you that have 5th wheels in the 35 foot range, what was the difference between the dry pin weight and the actual pin weight of the trailer ready to go.

Manufacturers give the empty pin weight for a given model with no options. They have an incentive to low-ball their numbers---low numbers sell more trailers. Some models have massive and heavy options that can skew this number as much as 750-1,000 lbs. in larger rigs. Gotta be careful out there. Nothing sucks more than hitching up your new 5th wheel only to have your truck suffer a hernia right there on the dealer lot :(
With total respect for your question, look at your own rig, and think about where you put the things you put inside the rig . . .
