Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I'm trying to figure out if I can include a Chevy/GMC 3500 in my truck possibilities along with a Ford 350/450, I am getting wildly conflicting information on the curb weight of the truck. I need an accurate number so as to include it in my combined vehicle weight numbers to see if the Chevy would be suitable for pulling my fifth wheel (15000lb GVWR).
Can anybody who owns a Chevy or GMC 3500 diesel tell me what the real weight is from having weighed theirs? I already have Ford weights from previous posts on this forum.
Can't help with the actual weight of a Chevy 3500, but can tell you that the 2009 Trailer Life Guide to Towing rates the 3500 crew cab long bed dually diesel with the 3:73 rear end at 15,900# capacity.
Although within specification, it is getting close to the top and most people recommend leaving a 10% slop factor.
The 2008 Chevy LTZ 3500 DRW, the weight full of fuel and ready to hook to the 5th wheel the weight was 8,560 lbs that includes driver, wife and Dog. GBY....
