checked trailer weight
I finally went over a scale with this trailer. Keystone says it is 5576 lbs shipped with 1624lbs carrying weight and 530lbs hitch wt. I had full fresh water tank and propane, some food, clothes and camping equipment for 2 people for 3 days.
Trailer was 5700 lbs, hitch wt. 1200 lbs.
Truck is 8000 lbs
I used the truck rear axle empty wt. at 3250lbs with trailer hooked up it was 4450lbs. That is how I came up with that hitch wt. Not sure how others check it. I did not have time to unhook the trailer on the scale to put just the front hitch jack on it.
I guessed that it was going to be much heavier.
