New Montana 5th wheel weight ratings. 2955RL
Howdy:
We are in love with the above rig but are really confused about the UVW rating. (extremely important, yes?) THe Brochure indicates that its weight is 9380 lbs with the notation that it is "Calculated as base unit with standard equipment only.
On the back of the brochure, it lists "standard features" along with "Optional Features: Almost everything on the rig we are looking at has most of the listed options. (15K A/c, awning, table and chairs, hide a bed sofa, stove, micro/convec. oven, and so on. Estimating the weights of all the "options" along with 1/2 tank of fresh water, I have maybe 200 lbs for food, other equipment and clothing that I can carry. This can't be right! Am I reading the broucher wrong?
The salesman says the brochure is not right and that the weight of the rig posted in the rig is the actual weight from the factory and includes everything that they installed there such as awning, AC, Tv's, etc. etc.. , about 9820 lbs.
What's the truth? Will my new Silverado 2500 HD D/A handle this trailer?
Would greatly appreciate anyones comments.
Thanks,
Phil
