weight

While in Oregon on MOW's Pacific Northwest Tour I was able to pull in to a closed Oregon Truck Weigh Station. They keep their scales on with an overhead digital sign indicating the weight. I was towing Glen Ford's MT-14 - no turntable and not enclosed - on the trailer the scale indicated 1700 #'s. The trailer probably doesn't weigh more than 300#'s and assuming 10% of the weight (one hopes) is resting on the hitch of the vehicle you could assume total 1870#'s trailer and motorcar take away 300 and around 1570#'s - My back says that's about right!!!

I tow with a 31 ft Superchief Winnebago - the front weighed 4400#'s and the rear 10,500 #'s with the trailer on!!! Altogether 16,600 #'s!!!! And I wonder why I get 6 mpg.......
