weight

I'm going to downsize from the setup in my signature to a 20' trailer and possibly a Ford ranger v6.... My question is can I use the WDH from current setup on new setup?

TL;DR: Looking at a weight to stay under for now (trying to not be a hazard on the road), knowing that I'll end up with a DRW and a nicer camper if the wife likes it. Truck: 2000 F350 w/ 7.3 (Lariat, if that's important) 8ft bed, crew cab Cargo capacity (per Ford's camping/towing brochure...

Hello! I recently purchased a travel trailer. I was looking to transfer my weight distribution set up from my old trailer to my new one. Camping world said they wouldn’t mount on my “snap-up” brackets (that required drilling through the trailer frame) because it is a liability for them because...

After a recent trip to the scales I found myself asking "does all this extra stuff make me look heavy?" The answer is YES! This upcoming summer will mark our 5th year with the Hawk on the truck full time. By now I have definitely figured out what we need and what we can do without. Today I went...

Weight of '79 10-foot Sunlight? I tow it with an SUV no problem but thinking of selling and wanted to know the weight the factory lists. Thank you.

I have 2008 Lexington GTS. Where would I find the max weight the 3 slides can hold?

I am looking to replace the tires on my 2008 Winnebago TOUR. Is there a reccomended size and weight rating. I normally purchase tires on the High weight rating for all of my vehicles.

Any Tips On Keeping weight to Spec?

I would like to put 400lbs of batteries on the passenger side wheel well in my 2024 18rrbl. It's all buried in carpet, so I can't really tell what is underneath. Seems like the best place to put them because everything is on the drivers side.

Hello Everyone, getting ready for our first trip in 2026. Does anyone know if there is a chance of causing any damage either to the Hilo frame or my truck's frame if I pull out of my driveway with the Weight Distribution Bars on? I have the spring and chain style W.D. system. Slight dip in...

I need the opinion and experience from this group. I have recently switched from towing our E19 with a Toyota Highlander (5000 lbs towing capacity) to a Toyota Sequoia (9000 lbs) towing capacity. We have used and been very happy with the Andersen WDH as it was needed to tow safely with the...

Hey gang, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this but, I thought I'd throw it out there for general discussion and to clarify. Although it's worked for me, I'm not exactly proud that I've done this practice on occasion for various reasons. I've lifted our coach, an '04 Itasca Horizon...

Looking at buying the 2108TB as an extra TT for quick trips when it’s just my wife and I. I currently use a Reese Steady Flex on my 33 ft trailer and would like something with less work for the Micro Minnie and easy to unhook etc. Any ideas ? Thinking about just two friction sways from Reese...

Hey everyone, I’m narrowing in on a purchase of a 17b inventory. I’ve worked out a lot of the information from the forums and talking with other members. A quick question, is with a 4 lithium battery zap pack am I going to have a lot of weight in the back of the trailer and benefit from a...

Seeking to buy a new 5th wheel and not understanding “hitch weight” (or pin weight) verses the truck maximum payload capacity. I have a 24’ RAM 2500 diesel w/6’r” bed. Manufacture’s payload is stated as 2500#. The unit we are looking to buy has a dry weight of 10375# but a hitch weight of...

We recently purchased a three year old Forest River Viking 182 DBU and we plan to go cross country this spring. We don't have experience with a camper Trailer, however, we were avid Tent Campers. I starting to hear a lot of talk about the need for a Distribution Hitch and Anti Sway Bars on...

Has anyone seen a stated weight limit for the outdoor storage?

We are considering a 2026 Tradewind 23FB. Can anyone share their actual tounge weight with the trailer loaded with propane, water and all other gear. Trying to decide if a 1/2 ton truck with a 1700 payload capacity would work or if I should plan on a 3/4 ton truck. Thanks.

I know these are the brackets for a weight distribution hitch mounted on trailer tongue. I have no idea what brand. Any thoughts? Thanks!

We took delivery of our '26 Globetrotter 27FBQ yesterday. First stop was the CAT scales. The trailer was empty except for some basic accessories (power cord, levelers, chocks, hitch tool, snap pads for the jack feet, and a couple of others). The trailer has the second a/c, solar option and...

I am considering purchasing a 2024 Renegade Vienna 25TBC. Since the GVWR is only 11,030 lbs. I am concerned about the cargo carrying capacity. I don't want to exceed the GVWR or the axle weight limits, the GAWR's. Does anyone know the typical actual empty weight of the 2024 Renegade Vienna...

Doing on paper weight and balance for our coach before the trip. Seems like no matter how hard I try I will always overload rear axle. My limits are 19,000 lb in the back and 10,000 lb upfront. I already installed 650 lb ballast under the front bumper. But there is all kinds of room to do...

For everyone that did a roof raise; what's y'alls finished weight (loaded or unloaded)? I did a 16" roof raise with 16awg galvannealed steal. (6) windows framed with 1-1/2" x 1/8" square tube. Undermount toolboxes, custom fab'd door (sheet metal/square tube), 100gal freshwater tank. Starting...

Hey y'all, I just purchased a 2026 Keystone Coleman 17B and I'm have a tough time knowing what weight distribution hitch I may need with my particular setup. I'm very new to owning an RV so I'm trying to make sure I get this kind of stuff right before I take my first trip very soon. I will be...

Well, sometimes the hours of research and planned healthy safety margin still puts you in a circumstance that makes you go "ehh...". Here's mine. Synopsis: Wife had Outback XT with 3,500lb to rating and 350lb hitch rating, we had 1,200lb trailer. We bought a 17ft Happier Camper "Traveler" that...
