Had the trailer weighed last week . . .
Put roughly 2/3 of a tank of fresh water in it to mimic what we would most likely have in it - 1/3 tank fresh water and up to 1/3 of a tank each of gray and black water, the basement loaded with our usual stuff, fridge is empty, one full and one 1/2 full LP 40 lb. tanks, and the truck had me and a full tank (36 gallons) of gas in it.
Here are the numbers:
Truck on the scale, trailer hitched up but not on the scale - 9220 lbs.
Truck and trailer front axle on the scale - 12,700 lbs.
Truck and trailer completely on the scale - 16,540 lbs.
Truck off of the scale, trailer hitched up and just the trailer's rear axle on the scale - 7520 lbs.
Trailer only unhitched from the truck on the scale - 9860 lbs.
I've done some math, but not sure I did the numbers right . . . maybe you guys can do it from these figures!
The Prowler has two 5080K axles, and if I did my math right I am well under the load for each axle.
Not sure why, but they didn't give me the weight of the whole trailer alone while still hitched up to the truck, and it is bugging me to the point of taking it back tomorrow and have the whole thing redone.
Plus, I want to get the weight on the rear axle while hitched to the truck, but that seems impossible unless I can find a local that has separate scales for each wheel, or somehow can garner that number from the numbers above.
Anyway . . . for you numbers gurus . . . what say you about these numbers?
