I can't clearly see all the numbers as the graphics are not good quality... but... the factory dry weight is 3845 lb. with a tongue of possibly 500. These weights do not include propane tanks, battery, water or any accessories. If you buy this trailer it will more likely weigh around 4300 lb. leaving 1200 lb. for cargo to bring it up to 5500 lb. GVW.

In any case, don't fudge these numbers. Trailers always weigh more than we think they will and they weigh far more than the RV salesperson says.

Henry got it almost exactly. The sticker in my 2002 T-2363 reads 4,319 pounds plus LP plus water.

Correct, dry weight 3845 and GVW of 5500. Tongue weight says 505 though.

Hmm, wonder what all the weight difference is between the '96 and '02.

Didn't they go to a 5" frame rail somewhere in there without altering the GVWR? That alone would add some weight.

Thanks for the info guess i will have to pass on it and stay with my scamp 5er for a while the ford explorer sport trac is only rated for 5080 lbs would have liked the extra room

Gene · 06-30-2011, 06:47 PM

My '02 has the 4" frame rails. I wonder if the higher weight was the awning and and the screenroom. The screenroom was on the build order but I didn't get it or the outside grill from the PO.

Mint Condition .... translation = Just as it came from the factory and never abused by cleaning or maintenance procedures.

Sorry Janalee, not a chance we will be selling ours. My wife and I still think it is the perfect coach for us. I wish you the best of luck in finding one, there has to be one out there someplace with your name on it.
