Just weighed ours at the Escapee RV-Boot Camp
Truck, 2008, 2WD Ram 3500 Diesel Dually Quad Cab. 2010 38' Grand Junction 5th wheel.
With me, the wife, the dog and a full tank of fuel.
Front GAWR 4750
Rear GAWR 9350
w/o trailer
Front 4570
Rear 3590
Total 7960
w trailer
Front 4540
Rear 6340
Total 10880
Trailer (weekend load, full load of water)
on the axles 10030
tongue wght 2920
Total 12950
GCWR 20,910
Most interesting things are that the front axle of the truck is essentially fully loaded with out the trailer...and that the Reese hitch (which I thought was too far back) is in the perfect place (just like the specs say it is).
Think I'm going to drop the receiver hitch and make sure I load the trailer evenly....
