One of my blog friends asked about the weight of the rig. I thought instead of replying in a comment, I would do a post.
Dave and Tina Rayburn, Weighing Specialist proved a report after weighing the rig.
On the tow vehicle, Cliff the Big Red Truck, here is the axel measurement without the RV.
- Passenger: Front 2,700 Rear 1,950
- Driver: Front 2,750 Rear 2,000
- Axel Wt: Front 5,450 Rear 3,950
- Axel Rate: Front 6,000 Rear 9,750
Here is Cliff’s measurements with the RV attached.
- Passenger: Front 2,800 Rear 4,400
- Driver: Front 2,900 Rear 4,300
- Axel Wt: Front 5,700 Rear 8,700
- Axel Rate: Front 6,000 Rear 9,750
Here is the weight on the axels on the RV.
- Passenger: Front 2,940 Mid 2,900 Rear 2,450
- Driver: Front 2,700 Mid 3,000 Rear 3,000
- Axel Wt: Front 5,650 Mid 5,900 Rear 5,450
- Axel Rate: Front 7,000 Mid 7,000 Rear 7,000
Pin weight is 5,000 and it can take up to 7,500.

That is interesting. I will share with my husband. I have no idea what the weights are for our truck and 5th wheel, but for sure our 5th wheel is lighter.

Toy hauler are normally the heaviest 5th wheels and when you include a toy, the weight does go up.

That is a very thorough report and a good thing to know. The most I’ve done is get a total weight at the CAT scale.

It cost $60 to have the rig weighed. We had thought about weighing the rig on a CAT scale, but hadn’t gotten to it yet.

Good thing Miss Nox was not aboard. Her massive weight would have really skewed the results.
