How many of you actually weigh your RV?

[Mbylone]

I understand the need to know your vehicles weight and the max capacity. But I am just trying to find out how many MH owners actually weigh their rig as suggested?

I had my new sunseeker 3050S weighed after we loaded it this past summer. I did not have access to anything that could weigh each tire, only did the front/rear/total at the local truck stop. I was under the limit for both axles. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I was below the limits.

Unless I find myself putting on a lot of pounds, I doubt if I will get it weighed again.

Rig handles fine, never have had a problem. No access to water once leave the house so fill tank full.

dumboat2 - How far are you traveling before "dry camping"? You do not have to haul that full tank of water the entire way. You will notice better handling with more weight on the front and less on the rear.

Weighed my Jayco Granite Ridge this morning.

I used THIS SITE to find one near me. Worked out well, hope it does for you too.

We have weighed twice, been below by 1500# fortunately. I had about 70 psi front and 80 rear. We need to improve the bounce and over steer. I am looking at bilsteins.this is our first mh,so learning alot. Thanks for all your info.

I weighed ours just before our first trip. Coachmen 21qb was right around 10,000 fully loaded (everything but the hubby...he was working!).

I wanted to see if I had enough GCWR leftover to tow my 4000lb loaded horse trailer. Mechanic said I could but I wanted to weigh it anyway.

I agree with the previous poster...can't imagine how some of those 28-32' C's with multiple slides stay under the GVWR. Class A gasser's too for that matter. Wonder how much the fleetwood we test drove actually weighed (it felt like we weren't going to make it up the ramp for our exit!).

I weighed our setup just for the piece of mind. It weighed about what I expected and confirmed I was within the specification for the chassis.

Not a MH as we have a 5'vr.
It has been weighed 7X.......once every year. We FT so I want to know!

Keep telling GF "1 bag IN---2 bags OUT!"
Doesn't help so I just show her the weigh ticket :B

Had our Class C 4 corner weighed at the FMCA Rally in Gillette this past summer. We were loaded up for a five week trip out in the western states. We came in with over 1000 pounds of CCC to spare.

You'll have to run a poll and weight it for people who just don't reply. Those who do will reply.

I weighed mine. It was nice piece of mind to know I was not overloaded.

My suspicion is that the owners that should weigh their unit do not. They then complain about handling problems, ride, and failures of something or another. Having the weights should not be scary, but informational as to what you may wish to change.

I weighed ours within a month of our purchase. Changed the tire air pressure and got a pleasant surprise in a quieter smoother ride.
GAWR (front) = 4,300 lbs, actual 3,260 lbs
GAWR (rear) = 8,600 lbs, actual 5,760 lbs
Total actual 9,020 lbs
GVWR = 12,300 lbs
GCVWR = 16,000 lbs
