There are some of us out here that are true data dorks. Weight is important, even when our TV is more than enough to pull what is behind us. I sold my TT and had all the stuff sitting in my garage, โ€œselfโ€ I thought, what does this stuff really weigh?

After pulling the trusty human scale from out under the couch and testing it (although it may be off by 5 LBS or so) I got busy with Rubbermaid tubs, notepad and calculator. After 14 trips to the scale, here is the data-

The stuff I had in my old camper is around 425 lbs. what outfitted a camper for 5 2A/3Kโ€“ bedding, sleeping bags, electrical cords, 6 folding chairs, 1 18lbs charcoal, canister, small grill, cleaning supplies, tools, blocks, pot & pans, coloring sheeting and match box cars โ€ฆ..

What was not is included โ€“ Food & Drinks, clothes, bikes, fishing tackle, dutch oven, firewood, water, . The last two are not really things we travel with anyways.

Best guestimate by time add food & drinks, 650 to 750 lbs. people not include in this weight.

My trailer weighs 2100lbs over the 7100lb dry weight. I don't know all the broken down weights.

Also don't forget that part of your load is the propane in the tanks, the waste in your holding tanks, and the water in your fresh tank, and any accessories that you've added to the unit.
