Got the MH weighed.

Finally got around to weighing my MH 2012 Georgetown 350TS dry weight 17292. I think something isn’t right. I don’t see how I have over 5klbs of ****. Even full timers don’t pack that. I think I may have to find another CAT scale. This was with full fuel 80 gal and full water 60gal. Me, wife and 2 dogs 30 and 50lbs. I did have 4 bikes on the back that are normally on the Explorer. We tend to pack heavy, but I don’t see me having 5K+ lbs in it!

Dry weight on the door sticker is 17292
GVWR 22k lbs.
Frt axle max 8k lbs.
rear axle max 15k lbs.

weighed weights
Frt axle 6820
Rear axle 15620
Total 22440

Yes it’s only 440 over and 620 over on the rear axle. I know it is t much, but I was hoping I had some cushion. I know I can lose 500 lbs without the bikes and less water.
I may have to put the MH on a diet. Going to have to talk to the wife too! Anyone want to sign up for that talk for me? :E

Your gasoline and water alone are nearly 1000 pounds. The dogs, bikes, bike rack, and people are probably about 500-600 pounds. 3500 pounds of accessories and stuff really doesn't seem excessively far out of line to me for a well-stocked motorhome; things tend to accumulate. There's also some weight in the inevitable dirt and whatnot that accumulate when you drive and use the RV, not all of which can easily be washed and rinsed off.

The sticker may or may not be accurate. Some manufacturers actually weigh each motorhome as it rolls off their assembly line (and put those actual weights on the sticker), I think, though probably not all.

I see you also posted on the Forrest River Forum, It's only 440 lbs overweight

I had a surprise also when I weighed the MH in my sig packed for a 2-3 month trip to Alaska. Full water, fuel etc.
