    2021 2800BH Weight Questions

    We purchased our Imagine new in April 2021. GVWR 7995. Did GD do anything functionally different to increase the GVWR to 8495 on the 2022 model? Ours has the 4400lb axles, so those alone can carry more than the gvwr. I ran across the scale on the way home from the dealer and it weighed 7200 completely empty with 1/3 tank of water the dealer put in it.

    7200 doesn’t sound right

    There is a weight sheet in your documentation that should show the weights
    Even minus the water it doesn’t sound right but could be I suppose

    IDK. I weighed the TV on the way to the dealer and then with the trailer at the same scale on the way home. UVW on the sticker is 6864. There were 2 full propane tanks and one battery. Otherwise the camper was completely empty except for the water. We had a mishap with a pole that required overlaying another layer of fiberglass reinforced plastic on the front half of the drivers side along with the slide. I've also upgraded the equalizer to the CRE3000 and added the hd shackles and 3 crossmembers, so I'm sure it is even heavier now. Ran across the scale loaded for a 2 week trip and had 7580 on the axles. Not sure what the tongue weight was. It pulls great, but I'm sure I am at or slightly over gvwr.

    This does sound right. Dealers do the weigh with no water, no tanks and no battery.

    Tanks and battery account for about 100lbs.

    Brackets and such for your wd hitch add up to maybe another 30 lbs.


    10-15 gallons of water weigh from 85lbs to 120lbs. 6886*200lbs=7115


    Then add any optional stuff that got added and you are pretty close.

    Stuff adds up pretty quick.
