I took our Classic loaded with all personal gear and water in the fresh tank and the truck loaded with nearly all gear we would take boon docking to the local Love's CAT scales. I crossed the scales with the trailer attached, then dropped the trailer at the back of their lot (leaving the ProPride stinger in place in the truck receiver) and crossed with the trailer only.
The results are in the top half of the spread sheet below.
The next day, I took my two sets of four wheel scales to the storage unit and jacked the unit up on each side to slide a scale under each wheel and the jack stand. The results are in the bottom half of the spread sheet.
Adding to the original empty weight is the 800 watt solar installation with four 92 pound lifeline batteries on the front in a stainless steel enclosure and a Magnum converter/inverter and the disc brake conversion.
My 2013 25FB International Serenity was heavy by several hundred pounds on the curb side rear wheel and so is the Classic. A friend stated today he has replaced the curb side rear tire several more times on his 2005 25' Airstream than the other three due to more loading. I wonder if many Airstream rear curb side wheels seem to have a heaver loading?
The numbers show I still have lots of weight capacity in both the truck and the Airstream. The truck has a 5,500 pound rated front axle and a 6,010 pound rated rear axle so legally can have a 11,510 gross vehicle weight. The trailer has another 900 pounds or so load capacity. The gross combination vehicle weight is 20,000 pounds.
