Where does one find out the wet weight of an RV?

Ok, I know what the gcwr, gvwr, gawr f/r. but where do I find the overall wet weight of a MH so I can figure out how much I can put on board? Thanks for the help.

do not trust the labels you might find inside closets, cupboards, on a salesman's clipboard, etc. the only true way to determine any of the various weights is to weigh the MH at a certified scale. IMO the RV industry has, maybe purposefully, confused the issue of weights. all you really need to know are the

- empty weight: (minimal fuel, no supplies, people, etc. this gives you the base weight of the unit.

- wet weight: full fuel, fresh water and LP tanks. you might consider filling the gray and black tanks, too, to get a 'worst case' number.

- loaded weight: full fuel, fresh water and LP tanks plus food, supplies, clothing, people, pets and other stuff.

of course, you need individual axle weights for all of the above. once you know these weights you will also know how much weight you can safely tow which, in general, will be the lesser of the following:

- the GCWR (gross combination weight rating) of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded for travel (includes fuel, fresh water, food, clothing, people, pets, supplies, etc.)

- the weight rating of your tow bar

- the weight rating of your hitch

good luck.
