Trailer Weight
Hi, I am interested in buying a 1995 HR Alumalite, 29 foot travel trailer. The owner said that the dry weight is 5000...but on NADA (the only place I could find any info on the web)it says 6000. Is the weight listed on NADA the dry weight, or the weight of the trailer plus 1000 pounds for cargo. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.1.3KViews0likes7CommentsTowing question
I have read many posts about towing capacity, but couldn't find any answers specifically for my question. So maybe someone can help. I have a 1999 Suburban 1500, brake controller, transmission cooler, and weight distribution/equalizer hitch. I only intend on towing a 6000# trailer a few hundred mile, once or twice a year on basically flat land (only in Kansas or Iowa). I have been spooked by all the claims about getting the biggest truck you can...and I would agree if I were to be towing all over the place. Is my setup doable for the short towing distances and amount of time that I will be towing? Thanks for any advice!!! ps. my trailer is 29ft.1.6KViews0likes9Comments
