I rolled over the scales on the way back from a trip this weekend. The ODOT scale weighed me as follows with a full tank of fuel and just me in the truck.
Steer axle 4100
Drive Axle 5700
Trailer axles 10,400.
Totals up to 9800 on the truck and 20,200 GCW. GVWR is 9900, GCWR is 20,000 and the GAWR on the rear is 6830.
Empty with a full tank plus me the truck weighs as follows:
4220 Steer axle
2880 Drive axle
So that works out to be a 2820 lbs pin weight. The total trailer weighs 13,220. What's odd to me is it seems to have lifted 120lbs of the front axle. I would have thought that it was supposed to add some weight to the front axle as the king pin is slightly forward of the rear axle.
The 5th wheel is a 2003 Hitchhiker Discover America 31 1/2 LKTG. It had a full load of water at 70Gallons. It also has an Onan 5500 Generator in the front storage. According to Onan's website the generator weighs 290lbs.
