Here is mine,
TV: 2005 F-250 4x4 PS Short Bed weighed in at almost 8500lbs, with fuel, 120lbs of tools, DW. 33 inch oversize tires.
5th Wheel: 2008 Fuzion 362, with Onan 5500 genset (300lbs) empty from the dealer the day I picked it up (except for 20 gal of gas added to fuel station) gross weight was 20940lbs. (added 18k Reese slider + Airbags to truck) No DW (she is 112lbs)
Interestingly, with straight subtraction I was within 200lbs of the UVW claimed by the manufacturer, if you account for the 5th wheel hitch and airbags + fuel in fuel station I added that day, Keystone actually overstated their weight by a couple hundred lbs.
Not a bad idea I guess to add a little wiggle room.
Loaded: All our stuff + full fuel station (30 gal gas)+ 50 gal water + 3 propane tanks full + Honda VTX 1800, saddlebags etc (850lbs)+ tools + TV full of Diesel + changed to 5th Airborne hitch (+- 100lbs) 15 gals in waste tanks and of course DW. Gross weight was 22680lbs
Just under my GCWR of 23000lbs.
