We currently have a 2001 Lance Lite 825. For races and wheeling I tow either a Racecar or Jeep. Wife is wanting a camper with a slide for the family.
A friend has a hardly used 2007 Arctic Fox 811, but I'm concerned with the weight. Dry weight says 3376 lbs. If It's like the Lance and their under estimating weight listings, I'm guessing it will be 1000 lbs over that at 4300 lbs.
The Lance Lite 825 lists at 2400 lbs, but mine weighs 3400 lbs loaded.
Anyone weigh their Arctic Fox 811? Thanks!
4180lbs (on a CAT Scale) with a full 50 gallons of water (and a full 6 gallons in the water heater), two batteries, two full 30lb propane tanks, air conditioner, generator, microwave, awning, and everything else that comes in the "Fox Value Package".
I removed the microwave, generator, and air conditioner, as well as replacing the massive but heavy propane cylinders with 18lb composite cylinders to give me some actual payload capacity for Stuff.
I should note that in this configuration, the camper put 140 lbs onto my front axle; the rest was on the rear. Moving water from the fresh water tank to the waste tanks moves weight back.
Removing the heavy Onan generator, which is in the wing at the very back of the camper, helped pivot quite a bit of weight (proportionally) to the front.
