What does your rig weigh?

[sreigle]

We've had a lot of discussions about things like mpg while towing, how well our truck does towing our rig, etc. But that info is not very relevant without knowledge of the weights involved. There is likely a wide difference in our total towed weight.

I'd like to keep this thread purely informational without editorial about weights vs. ratings, etc., please.

So, what does your rig weigh, did it include a full tank of fuel, anything in your Montana's tanks, people in the truck, etc.? What truck and what trailer? Fulltiming or not (relates to amount of gear onboard)? I'll start it off..

Feel free to copy and paste (or not) the following format:

Total weight: 23,160
Tow Vehicle: 2005 Ford Crew Cab shortbed 4x4 diesel automatic
TV load: Two people, full steel crossbed toolbox, normal gear onboard
TV fuel tank: full
TV performance enhancements: pure stock
Trailer: 2007 Montana 3400RL
Trailer load: fulltiming
Freshwater tank: 1/2 full
Waste tanks: empty
Comments: none

Steve, we were weighed by the RVSEF(Recreation Vehicle Safety Education Foundation) following an Escapade Rally last spring. Here our our results.


Total weight: 22,850
Tow Vehicle: 2005 Ford Extended Cab Longbed 4x4 diesel automatic
TV load: Two people, full steel crossbed toolbox, normal gear onboard
TV fuel tank: full
TV performance enhancements: pure stock
Trailer: 2005 Montana 3475RL
Trailer load: fulltiming
Freshwater tank: 1/4 full
Waste tanks: 3/4 full
Comments: We went to the rally with empty waste tanks and full freshwater tanks. We did not add water while we were there. We do not usually tow with full freshwater so figure we would usually be about 22,550 lbs.
