Re: 3 x 7k axle but only 20k GTW???
Thanks for the responses; the factory tires are g rated so a little over 4k each. With a 3150 pin weight that leaves roughly 17k on the suspension components; spings and hangers etc. a two axle in the same model line has GvWR of 16500 pretty close to 7k an axle plus pin weight for the model... provided all things are equal just trying to figure out “why” the third axle only nets 3500lbs of added capacity to the trailer. Wondered if if it’s merely a regulatory thing? Have to classify differently over 20k? Meet other restrictions over 20k? Or if it’s actually a physical capability issue?578Views0likes0Comments3 x 7k axle but only 20k GTW???
Looking at upgrading TT toyhauler for 5th wheel toy hauler (grand design momentum) specific floor plan still being debated. Anyhow, why... if it has three axles rated @ 7k each (not to mention pin weight) would it only be rated for 20k max? What is the weak link; pin, frame, hangers, other???4.6KViews0likes21CommentsRe: evergreen Reactor 25FS
Started with an the Louisville Rv show, it seemed to be the best out of the bunch TT wise. They had a 24fqs and was the only one at the show with an aluminum body. Jayco I thought was alright but again wood framed and the misses wasn't a fan. Was looking hard at the 26v volt (keystone vapor lite) online haven't seen it person. Seemed compatible but they go wood on the roof trusses. Rubicon 2500 wa in the mix wife loved the fit finish, but it's a heavy bugger and also all wood. Maybe I'm giving too much credit to an aluminum box? Wife hated the livin lite floor plans and aluminum cabinetry, so it closed that door.210Views0likes0CommentsRe: evergreen Reactor 25FS
thanks, good thread on trailer sway. After 8 years you would think there would be more posts... I'm optimistic and assume that's a good thing and the owners are happy and off the grid with their rigs :) The wife and I are off to the factory in Indiana tomorrow morning to look over the 25FS. Not sure what opportunity that presents in regards to direct purchase or having to work through dealer. Don't mind paying the dealer but if i'm buying direct I would assume that reduces their overhead I'd like some o that change to stay in my pocket.210Views0likes0Comments
