DRV weights?

Where can you find the dry weights of DRV's? Where am I missing them on the web site? It seems as if DRV doesn't want you to know their weights.

On the DRV site look at the floor plans. The dry weights are listed under the picture.

Maybe its my browser. I can only see the floor plan...there isn't any specs slowing. I'm using Chrome.

After reviewing the DRV site again I noticed I can see most weights for the Mobile Suites and some for the Elite, but none for the Tradition. Anyone know where to get Tradition weights? Thanks

sidewalls are 2 1/4" on this model? Tradiation or on all MS fifthwheels?

I was thinking they were 3 1/4"

I know this thread is not about wall thickness or the R factor of the insulation within, but as far as I'm concerned, looking solely at R factor is worthless.
In our ES, if I don't plug the 1/2 to 3/4" gap at the bottom of the kitchen slide, I may as well leave the door open while trying to heat or cool the rig.
When buying a rig, looking at how tightly things fit together, is just as important as wall/insulation thickness.

If you have a actual gap to the outside on your kitchen slide you need an adjustment done. I have the gap between the inside of the slide and floor but not at outside wall with slide extended.

inside of the slide at the floor is where the gap is...no adjustment for that.

Gemstone this is what you said.

"In our ES, if I don't plug the 1/2 to 3/4" gap at the bottom of the kitchen slide, I may as well leave the door open while trying to heat or cool the rig"

That sounds like you are not adjusted at the exterior wall when the kitchen slide is extended????????

As far as I know, the slide is aligned properly, slide opens/closes correctly, sits level, just happens to have a large gap at front edge/floor level of the kitchen slide....I just put it off to poor engineering or "Amish" quality. I realize the slide wiper seal is designed to prevent abnormal air flow, but what sort of insulating qualities does 1/4" of semi-hard rubber possess ?

So....what sort of gap do others have on their rig ?

Regards

Our kitchen slide sits close to the carpet below the TV and it has a 3/4" gap at the vinyl in the kitchen. This is typical.

Ours had large gap also. We stuffed air conditioner foam under it. Made a huge difference. We now have a Teton, no such problems as this.
