I don't know. Never weighed it.

I would consider weighing a starting point.
Knowing not guessing,estimating or brochuring your weights will let you know where you stand within the parameters of your combo.
Good or bad the actual weights is valuable information if you are serious about finding a lasting solution.

When I first began looking at RV's I thought I would want a 5th wheel with its space, and storage. After having my trailer for a few years I want back and looked at 5th wheels, and they didn't have the same cache for me. My trailer does exactly what I need, and I get the use of my truck bed. Now 5th wheels aren't as much a draw as I thought they would be (plus more $$). Now if I was traveling for long stretches, or full-timing I might be more interested again.
