Wow are we confused, we have a 2002 WW FS2600. we recieved the new sticker for the modified UVW weight, but we can't locate the former UVW weight. only the GVWR (11,000lbs).... as things have been with our WW, we have had 3 tire blow-outs, one resulting in the rubber flying across the wheel well and up the side of the RV causing damage to the siding. The 15" wheel had a faulty weld and caused a slow leak and had to be replaced. a Broken and bent tow hitch (10,000 lbs) the front of the RV bowing so badly the linolium in the galley area hovering off the floor when towed. The back bunk bed has fallen off its hinges while being towed (faulty strap) which crash landed on our bikes and the fold up bench seats causing them to plummet to the floor... We clean, detail and meticulaslly maintain our RV, so abuse and neglect is not an issue. now with this said..... our equipment is 3 banshee quads, (max 350 lbs each) riding gear/clothing/bedding.... tops 300 pounds, tools, lawnchairs, cooking utensils. (max 500 lbs)one of the banshees goes in the bed of the F250 4X4 ford super duty. no food, no water, no onboard fuel, no firewood etc...... we get all of that after we have arrived at our destination.(even the ice chests arrive empty) other campers that we go with haul much much much more weight than we do.(various makes of toy haulers)...with no problems whatsoever
so.... not only it the question is what was the original UVW for this particular model?, now what happens when we go to sell our RV? we recently puchased a sand rail and according to all of the "math" we should be able to haul it along with 2 of the bikes. "YIKES". Personally my only complaint about the WW is the lack of counter space, but as you can imagine, this is a very serious situation that we have been placed in as a consumer and fellow traveler on the road. WE have replaced all of our tires with "D" rated tires, checked the remaining 3 wheels for stress points and have since purchased a new towing system which includes sway bars and air bags. Is anyone else having these problems or can make sense of the "weight" that WW is claiming that can be put into our RV?
