Default Elkmont Dry Weight

There are several Elkmont 22 owners who post here who can respond with their make and model of their TVs.

And, of course, the only way you can know the towing weight of an Elkmont 22 or any other TM is to take it to a truck scale.

We traded in our 3326 for our Elkmont 26. We estimated our fully loaded 3326 to be 5,000 lbs, the towing limit of our Suburban. We estimate the fully loaded towing weight of our 26 to be 500 lbs. less or 4,500.

If you haven't already, check the towing info on www.trailmanor.com.

Our experience suggests as well as posts here that many TM owners do not have adequate towing capacity. Your towing capacity on level ground is very different than if you're pulling up and down the mountains of California as we regularly do. Keep that in mind as you go through the decision process; how much you strain the engine and transmission pulling up and how safely you can brake to an emergency stop and control going down. Don't scrimp on your controller; purchase the best you can afford.

TM quality and customer support has improved markedly since Bob Eckhoff became CEO.

Good luck with your purchase.
