Today I weighed the TV and RV. The RV's fresh water, gray water and black water tanks were filled with water to maximum. I also filled the RV gas tank. By my calculations the fluid weight should be about 2,412 lbs. I doubt I'll ever come close to that weight while traveling but was enough to give me a guideline. Here are the measured weights.
TV + RV
TV Front: 4,580 lbs. (620 lbs. under GAWR)
TV Rear: 7,560 lbs. (1,790 lbs. under GAWR)
TV Total 12,140 lbs (60 lbs. under GVWR)
RV 12,460 lbs.
GCW 24,600 lbs.
Pin Weight: 4,100 lbs.
I also conducted a braking test per the California DMV code. In a nut shell, the code states that my type of vehicle combination should stop within 40 feet from the speed of 20 MPH. Although this was unscientific, I was sure I stopped less than 20 feet.
I had a very good discussion with the California Highway Patrol yesterday. I will write up an article and post in under a new tread.
