Allen if you still have it or can find it check your Certificate of Origin from Keystone. That will give you the weight of the unit when it was shipped from the factory. It will also list the GVWR. That is valuable information, the GVWR should be the same as what is listed on the vehicle sticker.

A whole lot of people are overloaded and do not realize that they are (legally that is). I, like you want to know where I stand. Our units should compare somewhat in weight but won't be exactly the same. Also if you check the sticker that gives the Tire information you should see a GAWR for each axle, combined they represent the GAWR (carrying capacity) for those axles.
Also good information to know and have on hand...

Glad you brought this topic up, gives us all plenty to think about and consider. Hope I don't need a bigger truck I like my old '01 Dodge..

I will try and get an opportunity to scale my 3402RL as soon as I can, we are not heading anywhere till end of January.
