sclord2002 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Acquired a 2006 Keystone Cambridge with a GVWR of 16980 lbs. Had it at Camping World taking care of some pre purchase inspection items.......went to pick up camper and I had to back into the service lot to hook up camper because the fork lift they used to shuttle campers wouldn't turn because the rear tires were just skimming the asphalt. it does have a 5500 watt genny and the fork lift had the 5th wheel adapter pretty near the end of the forks but the pin must be pretty heavy. Volvo doesn't care about the weight. My trailer saver 2 bag hitch does work much better with this coach, though. I use my 2500 Ram to park the camper in the shed due to tight quarters and trying not to tear up the grass too much and it groaned and squatted pretty good when I retracted the landing gear. Added to my ' important' list....WEIGH RIG, ASAP. Charlie Don't ever tell a soldier that he doesn't understand the cost of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Check out Howard and Linda Payne's blog over at RV Dreams. They have a similar Cambridge and might be able to give you a base weight. Enjoy your new rig!

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Base weight doesn't matter, what the trailer actually weighs, does. Best option get a per wheel weighing. Some sources.
