Made a trip to the CAT Scales today to get the empty weight of the truck. The result is below. This is with full fuel, a 200# driver and 50# tailgate (removed for camper)
The next trip will be with camper on. In the meantime,
The truck printed GVWR is 12,300
The camper printed dry weight is 2,980
12,300 – 8,150 (8,400 – 250) = 4,150
4,150 – 2,980 = 1170# for driver, passenger, water, food, tools. This should work out about right. The next weigh will tell the tale.
UPDATE – 12/17/2017
Made it back to the scales with the Goose. Includes driver, empty water, full propane and batteries.
Based on these weights, there will be 680# available for passenger, water, food and extras before GVWR is reached.
