On my new RW, the certified weight, leaving the factory was 13,466. Not too bad, considering it has the W/D set, and 2 Acs.

^What Dave said. I wouldn't be afraid to own any of the big 3. I just happen to be a huge Cummins fan.

Right. You carry things I don't carry.

I don't carry water or food. I also don't have a genny, or dishwasher. I don't keep acquiring stuff as I go, because I don't full-time. What I collect as I...

I never said no RW weighs over 15k. I also don't have the dishwasher. Do you have 40# propane tanks? I don't carry water. I don't have the generator. Didn't I say I'd be around 15- 15,500K? I never...

^That sounds about right. For me, it won't matter for about 1- 1 1/2 years, if the RW is working right, I won't be leaving this site until then.

The 36rl is 16,500 gvwr. I'd be willing to bet money that with my options, and propane, I'll be lower than that. I'd also be willing to bet that I'll be under my trucks GCWR of 25K, and pin capacity...

That above quote(you quoted) is about the Redwood. Post #52 is about the Rushmore. As I've said, going by what RW says, and the options I've ordered, and propane, I expect to be around 15-15,500K....

No brochure, that's the actual sticker on my coach. But, as I've said before, I'm still in the Rushmore until this coming Friday. I think my RW will come in at about 15k, with options and propane. I...

It probably is a little low. My previous ram's all 2500, quad cab, long bed, 4x4, scale weighed in at 7000. I was just guessing at 2 extra wheels, fender extensions. I am probably closer to 8-8500. I...

^ I understand about RV weights. I understand dry weight, weight as it left the factory, and what adds weight to the coach as I pull it. That's why I said my coach is about 15,000, when the sticker...

My Rushmore has a certified dry wgt sticker on it. They don't add the options, propane , or water. Does CR do this for their RWs?

You said a normal Class C license can tow under 15,000. I don't think any RW made weighs 15,000, according to website dry weights, plus knowing how much weight is usually added to an RV after dry...
