RE: Yet another request for towing advice :)
Thanks for the responses, guys.
kknowlton- I thought the dry weight and the UVW were the same. According to one sales website, the "UVW" is 6280. According to the official Keystone websight, the "shipping weight" is 6295. Unfortunately, I am looking at a buy out-of-state, so I can't look inside the cabinet door on the actual trailer. But I can ask the salesperson to look when I talk to him again.
Yet another request for towing advice :)
Hi guys,
There are so many threads on towing capacities, etc that I'm kinda confused. I recently had a TT that has a dry weight of 5250 and GVWR of 7500. I have a 1/2 ton Chevy Suburban that has a tow capacity of 7800. It towed it just fine; struggled up big hills (so I needed to go slow), but held fine on normal and/or flat driving. I've drove it from CA to MN and back without a problem. It was our first TT, so it had a bunch of "stuff" in it that probably weighed it down quite a bit. We never took the actual weight of it, though.
We sold that recently so we can upgrade our camping lifestyle. :) The wife and I want a TT that has a dry weight of 6295 and a GVWR of 7800. We never dry camp, so our water tank would be minimal; we'd pack a little more conservatively than in the past. Am I relatively safe buying this?
BTW, the TT I am looking at is a 2010 Cougar X-Lite 29BHS.
Thank you!
