This reminds me of a experience I had in 2003. We had a 5th wheel and were in our 3rd year of fulltimming. We were considering going to a motorhome and found a 2002 Winnebago that had been traded in that was like new. Being a Escapees RV Club member, been to several events where it was hammered into our heads to "weight it before you buy it" we took it for a test drive and drove it over the scales at the local truck stop.

It only had 600lbs of carrying capacity on the front axle. I called Winnebago and they told me I needed to run with full water and fuel for ballast. (both tanks were behind the rear axle since it was a gas rig)

We kept our 5th wheel.
