weight difference

[Jim and Patty]

Hi, We recently purchased a 2021 Imagine 2400BH. The brochure states the ULVW is 5725 lbs. The sticker on my trailer is over 6100 lbs. Is this normal. I'm not at home right now so I can't check the weight, as my camper is in my driveway.

 

[Second Chance]

Yes, normal - RVs nearly always come in above the advertised UVW. The advertised weights do not include any options and other things add to the weight, too.

As Second Chance said. Batteries and LP tanks are also not included in the UVW.

I have the dinette and my uvw is 5842
Do you have the theatre seating?
Wouldn’t guess it would be almost 300 lbs heavier

Thank you all for the quick responses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have heard that empty LP bottles are included in the manufacturer's UVW, but not batteries.

You are correct.

And the sticker on your trailer says over 6100 lbs?

There are a lot of things that can add weight, or subtract weight, during the build process. All tires do not weigh the same, all wheels do not weight the same (but close), frame members and lengths of steel in general do not weight the same, laminated wood products can vary in weight. Density varies from one unit of whatever your talking about to the next, especially in a process of making steel, laminated wood, particle board and so on, where you are adding or blending ingredients. Unless the process of manufacturing something controls the weight, there will be differences. Not saying that's the difference of 300pounds in this case, but it could be.

That is a big variance to identical units
But the OP has not posted yet what the actual sticker on their trailer says. Hopefully they will

My trailer came with a "Vehicle Weight Information" sheet. It lists the very specific weights and capacities for MY trailer (VIN is at the top of the sheet with a date of 10/7/2020). It seems that GD weighs each individual trailer before it leaves.

Yes they. What they advertised is general, but then each individual trailer is weight right off the assembly line for a specific weight of the VIN.

Just went out and looked at sticker. UVW is 6174. I wonder if they stuck the wrong sticker on it. The sticker doesn't state what model the trailer is.

Wow. That doesn’t make sense. Mine is 5842

Over 300 lb variance in identical equipped trailers

There is a sheet of paper in your documentation that list the weight as well
Do you have it?

Here is my sheet. Every trailer should be delivered with it.

This isn’t a 2400 is it?

I wonder if they had liquids in the tanks during testing??? And didn’t empty them before it went on to the scales?
Only thing I can think of

This is really interesting
