    Actual trailer weight versus advertised weight

    Has anyone weighed their rig before loading it with personal items? If so, how close was that weight to weight advertised for your rig?

    There should be an actual "weight as shipped" document from Grand Design specific to your trailer VIN. Grand Design sends this with the rig. If you don't have it in your info package, your dealer might have it. If not, Grand Design will provide this directly to you if you provide Janice with your VIN.

    These numbers are close to the advertised numbers, but not exactly the same. This info will also show your weight difference (dry) for left and right sides.
