Exclamation real weight

I took my 99 Montana 285RK to a scale and had it weighed.The MFG. Says the ULW is 8,990 lbs. Actual weight was 10,090 lbs. My TV actual weight (03 chevy 2500 HD 4wd,ext cab,LB) was 6,100 lbs. GM says the weight is 5400-5600 lbs. So my combined was 16,190. That but me over the TV TCWR of 12000 lbs. So if you really want to know what you have for weight(camping ready loaded) take it to a scale!

Based on your numbers I assume that the TV is a gasser. It looks like the
5er scale weight is loaded for camping as about 1,100# difference between ULW and scaled weight.
The GCWR is not a hard and fast number, lower gear ratio and/or more HP will increase that number.

If you are looking to justify a new TV, don’t let DW see this!

That's kinda our mantra around here.
