Im looking at a EC850 2005 anyone have an idea on a wet weight of one of these? It has 2 awnings,AC……Just wondering if too much for a 97 f-250HD.

Yeah I found 2005 EC specs online they claim 2800lbs wet,Im guess its way heavier than that?

My 950 was listed at 3320 wet but is actually close to 4k. When I take the listed dry weight (2850lbs) and add the 46 gals of water (368lbs), 1 battery (70lbs) and 40lbs of propane it almost exactly matches the listed "wet" weight.

So wet weight doesn't even count all of the dishes, clothes, food, tools, etc. It also doesn't count the options like A/C and awnings.

The 2007 EC brochure was nice enough to list weights for all of the options. I added mine up and reached 270lbs with the heaviest items being the A/C(90lbs), rear awning(50lbs), slide topper(40lbs) and microwave(40lbs).

This same 2007 brochure lists the 850 as 3155 wet so it seems the 2nd generation fiberglass (not filon) added some weight (~250lbs) compared to the 2005 models. Unless maybe the 2005 brochure didn't consider the 200lb slide in the base weight?

So maybe that 850 could come out closer to 3500-3600.

I'd guess roughly 3700-3800 lbs wet. My 2 year newer 950 with A/C is about 4k wet.

Some carry them on 3/4 ton trucks with upgraded wheels and tires but I'd say it's a little much for your truck.
