I will bet that your 9200LB GVWR truck weighs in at around 10.5K with the new beautiful trailer ready to hit the road, if it is a 4x4. Chris

Funny--My daughter saw one of these while we were camping on Memorial Day. She remarked that we need to get one of those because it has a horse on it. LOL! After seeing the pics of the inside, I think the whole thing is gorgeous!  And love the pantry. It is definately a full-timing machine.  Congrats!

Funny you should ask Chris...was able to get to the scales yesterday and here's what I've got!
TV GWVR 9200 RAWR 6900 and Tires (E rated) 6400
TV loaded to the gills actual and without 5er 7680
GCWVR 22800 Actual 20240 (again loaded up...all fluids and my stuff
Actual TV (attached) 9740 and rear axle actual 5440
Pin weight 2060
Now for all you purists out there let the flaming begin! I am very comfortable with these numbers. I spent alot of time with my GM dealershsip (this is a small town and I know them well) who in turn called a tech specialist at GM and assured me my 2500 is safely pulling this fifth wheel.
I am putting airbags in the back. While you can't see with the naked eye any lift in the front of the TV, I know its there ever so slightly because my headlights are up a little. So, airbags should fix that!
Let the flaming begin! Can't wait to go camping this weekend!!!
