Trying to find weight of TT

[Cantdrive55]

I am trying to find the weight of my TT. I bought it "pre-owned" last year. The sticker on the side is so worn I cannot read it.

I've weighed my rig for nothing several times- once at a grain truck scale that the farm co-op leaves turned on 24/7 and once at the landfill. And I don't know about your neck of the woods, but in mine, highway scales are also left turned on 24/7, so one can run through there when they're closed.

You don't get a certified weight ticket or anything of course, but if you just want to know the weight who cares?

My guess is that the #7500 is the trailers GVWR.

A scale fee is abt $10. Have the tow vehicle and trailer loaded as of camping and weigh it. This is the only true weight that means anything.

I saw the 3400 kgs and thought the same.. 7500 pounds. I hope it's gross weight. Really don't want to run through a scale although I think it may be my only option. No other stickers inside the tt anywhere.

"Dry weight" is really irrelevant, as others have pointed out. You need to know the actual loaded weight as determined at a scale.

That said:

I see a number next-to-last at the very bottom of your pic that looks to me to be "dry weight", only expressed in kilograms. 3402 kilograms is 7500 pounds. Which is what I THINK the number immediately to the left says.

Thing is, though- if it means unloaded or dry, that weight seems high for the load range C tires also indicated on the label. So the above number could be GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating), which would be the maximum allowable weight for the loaded unit.

You are looking at the tire info...maybe/possibly if you are lucky there may be a sticker inside a cabinet door (kitchen cabinet??) that will have some weight info.

Something like dry weight, gross vehicle weight, carrying capacity, etc.
Look around.

But, as westend posted, take it to a scale and be sure.

Scale it. Should be a certified Cat scale within 25 mi.
