Scale weight for 17A
I had learned from ETI that the weight shown on the registration documents (2455 lbs) was a calculated weight rather than a scale weight, so after we took delivery of the trailer in Sumas, we took it to a commercial scale just west of town. The result:
Gross weight: 2720 lbs
Tongue weight: 280 lbs
We had not yet loaded any personal belongings into the trailer. The propane tanks were full, so I subtracted 40 lbs from the weight showing on the scale (2760 lbs). The fresh water tank was empty.
The trailer is pretty basic; no a/c, no water heater, no extra insulation. It does have the front bin, solar panel, kitchen window, dual 6 volt batteries.
