Re: hitch weight with full water tank.......
Weights measured yesterday on the BC Ministry of Highways self-serve scale at Midway. All masses (weights) are +/- 20 kg (50 lb), since there is some subtraction involved, and the scale sometimes tared at 10 kg. I will shortly post a more detailed analysis in the Documents sub-forum.
Escape 17B with full fresh water, empty grey and black water tanks. Two near-full propane bottles. Lots of stuff in the trailer.
Hitch weight - 140 kg (310 lb)
Axle weighty - 1100 kg (2420 lb)
Total trailer weight - 1240 kg (2730 lb)
Hitch weight as percent of trailer weight - 11%
