Weight

My 06 36TK3 Mobile Suite had a weight sticker in the kitchen cabinet by the microwave that said it's estimated weight was 12 200 if I recall correctly. I took the trailer to the scale on the way home from the dealer and it came in at 15190. My pin weight was in excess of 4300 pounds. When I went on the road in 2007 the trailer came in at 18500

On this junk 09 38TKSB3 I have not been able to locate an estimated weight sticker on any cabinet door. I did not weigh this trailer empty as I discovered it had a defective frame and never did weight it. I do know that Lippert components welded 200 pounds of steel to the inside frame rails and called it a fix.

I have weighed it since I put my stuff in and it came in at 17190 ready for local camping. It would easily go over 18500 when ready to go on the road. My pin weight on this trailer is over 4300 pounds.

I'm not going to get into the truck discussion as this is a very sensitive subject and my dog doesn't need to be in that fight. For me to be comfortable towing I had to go up to a 450 as my 350 for me wasn't the truck for the job.

Good luck with your purchase I hope that it works well for you.

As always good camping
