2007 Fleetwood Mallard 20FKS specs?

Hi. Buying a 2007 Fleetwood Mallard 20FKS (front kitchen/slide) and cannot for the life of me find its hitch weight, gross weight, payload etc. Even the old official PDF brochure I found online lists N/A for this model. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
  • Ohhh... good find thank you! I think because the one I'm looking at has over bed bunk, AC and probably some other "options" that's what would get it to 6,400lbs gross vs that listed 5,800lbs.

    I'm only being nit picky about this because I'm curious if my better half's 2021 Subaru Ascent Touring with 5,000lbs towing/500lb hitch would be able to pull this "mostly dry"... to local campgrounds at least... with just like 10-15gal water, minimal cargo etc. Will use the '99 F-350 DRW most of the time and not think twice about it lol.

    Thanks folks!!
  • You can estimate the tongue weight as 12% of the GVWR (12% x 6400 = 768 lbs). Realty is, 100 lbs either way ain’t no big deal.
  • I went and took a photo of the only sticker I found in the whole travel trailer. GVWR is 6400lbs and "Max Cargo" is 2,046lbs. So... how would I get a tongue weight from that or is that not enough information to calculate? Thanks!
  • My 2004 Fleetwood trailer had all that info on the inside of a cabinet door in the kitchen.
  • Ther should be a sticker on the left front of the trailer with the GVWR, tire size air pressure etc. Use 12 to 15% of the trailer for an estimate of the loaded trailer hitch weight for travel trailers.
