RV shake down (GoLite Cloudbreaker travel trailer) with my 2026 XLT AWD.

[reyjakosm]

Just had an RV shake down (GoLite Cloudbreaker) with my 2026 XLT AW. Dedicated tow mode. One way 237 miles it was 13.5mpg. Doing 65-70 mph depending on the highway.

I added an Airlift 1000 kit in the coil spring just to compensate with the sag. There were five of us in the trip.

What's the weight of the trailer, and what was your tongue weight?

I can't look up your tongue weight, now can I? That all depends on how you loaded the trailer...

That hitch weight is it unloaded, which is fairly useless because you have weight unless you're driving it home from the dealer.

That’s the posted weight with that propane and battery in there. No added weight in there but just the stock. Hope this answers your inquiry.

What weighing scale did you use when you weighed your RV tongue?

Aaaaarrrrggggg! The number will be lower if he uses a kilo scale.

Were you Fresh Water Tank, Black and GreyTanks Filled?

 

[reyjakosm]

Makes me wonder if other people buying RV are basing their choices by the limitations of the towing capacity of their vehicles and then would dedicate weighing the tongue after they loaded up for camping before they hookup. If that’s the case, I’d like to know how they do that and what scale they use that can measure up to 1000 lb.

Fresh water tanks can be filled at the campsite. Grey and black tank will get filled at the campsite unless you’re off grid. And those weights are accounted in the GVWR.
