I took our rig to the scales this morning and had it weighed. I thought others might find the results helpful.
Trailer '04 2720SL (fully loaded for camping, no water, full propane)
Trailer Axle = 3540#
Trailer Tongue = 470#
GVW = 4010#
Tow Vehicle
'06 Chevy Silverado 1500 extra cab, 8' bed (with camper shell) loaded for camping (less DW).
Steering Axle = 3000#
Drive Axle = 3740# (including TW....no WDH)........(GAWR 3686#
..... GVWR 6600#
)
The TrailManor is maxed-out on the axle weight (no WDH for me)
Our 1/2 ton Chevy P/U is maxed-out on the rear axle (actually 54# over weight). I was carrying about 100# of firewood but I feel ~OK with being a
little over on the truck axle. I have over-sized tires and Air-lifts. The really sad part is that we are 150# over our GVWR on the truck.
Keep in mind, there are just the 2 of us and we really don't carry a lot of stuff in the trailer (and it is maxed-out). We carry almost everything in the truck bed.
How many of you tow these things with a mini-van??????
