It's ours!

[EMD_Driver]

After having to spend only 5.5 hours at the dealer today, we're now the proud new owners of "Sunny 14"!!!!! We only took a few pics today..

#1: Bonnie's first Slide room...



#2: Backing it in, to get the new tires put on. We found out, that the tires on it were dated 2002 so Bonnie ordered new ones.



#3: In the bay, getting the dual cams installed..



#4: Our service tech, Dave. He seemed to know his stuff...



#5: Bonnie checking up on him, to make sure he knew what he was doing!



#6: With the dual cams being installed, the break away switch had to be moved. Here's Dave and I, getting it mounted at it's new location.



#7: For Sunline Fan and JohnB:



#8: ALL hooked up and set up!!! Ready to go!!



#9: Within 3 miles of the dealer's lot, we put the rig on a scale.... ESPECIALLY for JohnB!! Here ya go, my friend!



It's late, so I'll let Kitty tell the whole story of our day some time tomorrow.. Plus, it's "Camp Driveway" tonight!!

WOW!!! That is one nice looking rig!!!!

And you even scaled it on the way home. Double WOW.

H’mm OK the brain is already running…. Here last summer Kittys F350 weighed 8,400# on the truck. But that was before the aux diesel tank. Ok how many gallons extra is that tank and was it full? We can back into a TT GVW and a guestimate on the tongue

This much we know. The Kitty mobile use to have a GCW of 14,490# with the T2499 and no aux fuel tank. Now she has upgraded to 16,180# GCW and no stuff yet and an aux fuel tank. The prediction is once filled you be in the 17,380# range GCW... less power tools....

OK what does the weight sticker inside say?

Boy that is one sharp looking camper and truck.

Super congrats!!!

Kitty & Gary,

Beautiful coach! It looks like it's meant for the truck, much more than a 2499.

Happy travels!

Great looking Sunline.

[brickric]

Wow...how exciting!! Congrats.
BTW - Were you coming through the Hagerstown area on I-81 around 5:30pm? I was on the northbound side and think I saw you heading south! I remember seeing the newer Sunline with bunks. Well anyway...have fun!

Hi John no I called about the one in the poconos the 04 they didnt even want to talk about a trade I told them what I had and they said they would call me back I waited 3 days never heard from them so I called back and they said they couldnt do anything . but I think thats funny because we never even discussed numbers so I cant figure out how they could know where or not they could work out or not. where is the other 320 that your mentioned located?

Here's the info, from the weight sticker...

GVWR: 10,000

Minus UVW: 6,752

Minus fresh water weight of 32 gallons @ 8.3 per: 266

Minus LP gas weight of 15 gallons @4.5 per: 68

CCC for this trailer: 2,914

With the scale weight of 6,420 at the axles, that means we only had 332lbs on the tongue I think we need to re-asses the WD....

Hey JohnB,

Yep last year when I scaled my truck it had the diamond plate cross bed tool box, fuel tank of fuel (26 gal), and myself and 2 friend onboard. It weighed 8400#'s.

My truck info is: GVWR 11,400 lbs
FT GAWR 5,600 lbs
RR GAWR 7,000 lbs

Yesterday the truck contained Gary & I, the same tool box, approx 28 - 30 gal of fuel in toe aux tank, and approx 23 gal in the factory fuel tank. OH, it did have 5 tires in the bed, 1 rim and a spare carrier for the trailer, the hinged propane tank cover and I think that's it (unless Gary stuck more in there) I HAD NO TOOLS in there !!!!!!!

Maybe when Gary gets home, we'll run the truck to the scales this evening.

Kitty

PP SS: This thing is a huge MONSTER, and I'm pretty tired so, can you believe this I haven't even put one thing in it

I had a greyhound "meet n greet" to do today, so that kept me from working in "Sunny 14"

Gary did get it stabalized better today(it's rock solid now), as it's sitting in the front yard, not it's normal resting spot and we now do have 110ac run to it temporarily

No, not exactly like that. Tongue weigth does not change with WD. Actually the loading on the A frame goes up not down.

The Axle on your TT could gain approx 200# from the WD effects of taking weight off the rear Axle of the truck. TT axles weight with WD engaged adds a % of the WD transfer off the rear alxe.

We really need a few more weigths yet to figure out what the trailer is and after you load it, it will go up again. It only goes up from here....

John

Do you have any fender height numbers before and after WD engaged?

Congrats - it sure is a "purity camper"
