[johns5625]

can we get some loaded pin weights of your bighorns , like the 3610 , 3670 , 3070 and 3585 ? It would help a lot to see some real weights out there , thanks.

A search will reveal much.

My 3670 pin weight came in at 2950 when weighed at the Goshen rally by RVSEF.

Our BH3585 came in at 2380lbs

Our Rushmore is similar to one of the Bighorn models - 3670RE maybe? Anyway, we're at 3000# pin weight with Washer/Dryer and Generator up front, basement full, and 2/3 fill on fresh water tank. Total weight is 15000#.

WOW! Fulltiming must really make a difference then?? We too were weighed at the Goshen rally, our pin weight for our 3600 RL came in at a staggering 4,125 lbs....I'm still looking for the gold bars DH must have stashed up front somewhere...LOL!!

Thanks for your numbers , thought that would be around 3000 lbs on pin with these units. we are still looking and I,m sure we want to stay around 14000 lbs max , when loaded , or less on the weight. Just seen some pics of the new TI 32 on a dealers web site , it maxis out at 14000 lbs , and looks great , only wish someone had one in stock to check out near Tn. again thank you for your pin weights. I do not want to go over 2800 lbs on my pin loaded.

Yes, you definitely want to physically get into the TI 32. There was one at Goshen last month, and we got into it as quickly as we could, because that was one that we were interested in. Not anymore. The bed is so close to the wall on the curb side that it is difficult for an adult to get into the bed any way but from the foot. Making the bed would be difficult.

Thanks to all of you who have posted your weight information here. The Bighorn is still on our list, just not the TI 32. How do your empty weights compare to what the factory publishes? I'm looking at the empty weights (dry weight) and the gross weights, and seeing some that are pretty close together. We're looking at going FT when I retire. I don't want to exceed GW.

My sticker pin weight was 2115 lbs., and as I indicated, the RVSEF weight at the rally was 2950. With my GMC 3500HD dually, I was not overloaded with a trailer weight of 14525 lbs. (GVWR is 16000, dry weight on sticker was 12215). The RVSEF weighing was with empty tanks.

The first thing I did when we picked up our 2010 3670 was to take it right to the Cat Scales. After topping up both Propane tanks we went right to the scales.

Truck Alone Steer. 5055#
Truck Alone Drive. 3920#
Truck Alone Gross. 8975#

Truck with Trailer steer. 5080#
Truck with Trailer Drive. 6300#
Trailer Axle. 10760#
Truck and Trailer Gross. 22140#
Pin Weight. 2380#
Trailer weight. 13165#
Factory Shipping Weight said 13146#
2010 Bighorn Brochure said Dry Weight 12160#, So the Options I got on it was almost 1000# and the Brochure Pin Weight said 2065#

After loading for Full Timing the Weights were.

Truck Alone Steer. 5000#
Truck Alone Drive. 4000#
Truck Alone Gross. 9000#

Truck with Trailer steer. 5060#
Truck with Trailer Drive. 7100#
Trailer Axle. 11840#
Truck and Trailer Gross. 24000#
Pin Weight. 3160#
Trailer weight. 15000#

And it Tows like a Dream.
