How much weight for washer & dryer & generator
Found out the weight for the onan generator is 290lbs.
weight for washer is 148lbs
weight for dryer is 73lbs.
So a total additional weight of 511lbs.
So the hitch weight for a regular Solitude 310GK is 2350lbs.
Would you have to add the total 511lbs to the hitch weight or take a percentage
to determine the hitch weight.
I realize this is going to start something but I'm new at this stuff and am
trying to figure out the Ram 3500 and what it will tow legally.
Thanks in advance.....................................Diesel

Add 60lbs for propane and a second battery if you have one. Remember anything that goes in your 310 in front of the axles is going to be added pin weight as well. Figure around 3000# plus for round numbers.

I added both those items to my Solitude 375 at delivery. The factory weight sheet said 3100 pound pin weight with the optional outside kitchen. My new scaled pin weight loaded for camping was 3860 lbs. You can pretty much figure all of that 511 pounds will be on the pin if the washer is in the front bedroom. Those are heavy items to add but sure are nice to have!

The closer to the front, the more the increase of the pin weight.
Things placed behind the axel will remove pin weight.
Things close to the axel will have little or no affect on the pin weight.
You can get an estimate of how much affect something will have by figuring out the ratio of the distances of the item from the pin as compared to the distance the item is from the axels but it would still be only an estimate. The only way to be sure is to put it on a set of scales.2022 Reflection150 226RK
