Finally some time to catch up!
Got home from the "big" trip and needed to catch up on home life.....and get my hands looked at. A few injections, pills and an upcoming surgery hopefully will bring the hands back around. I pushed a little too hard to get Snowball finished before the trip and my already hard worked hands let me know the "limit" OH WELL....life.
FINALLY had time to take EVERYTHING out of the rig and get it weighed. We never had the chance to weigh empty before we departed on our 8000 mile journey, I weighed it full at a truck stop a few miles down the road from our house as we departed north , just to be safe. We did weigh the rig 4 other times during the build so I was pretty confident we would be just fine.
EMPTY except for me, 170 LBS, full fuel about 70 ish gallons and fuel DEF 8 gallons ISH. 6 gallons of water in the water heater.
Here is the full weight ticket as we rolled out the door in late July. Myself, my wife, clothes for 2 different seasons, 100 gallons of water, full fuel 70 ish gallons, def, spare parts, LOTS of tools, camping gear, good amount of food, extra wine, beer and bourbon
Plenty of margin with the 19,500 LB GVWR. I am not sure we could make max weight unless we built something else onto the rig.
The interior storage space was about 2/3rds full.
A lot of "stuff" fits into the outside boxes!
The plywood and the black maxx traxx did not go with us. Still need to make an exterior aluminum mount for the Maxx Traxx.
We had a compact set of traction boards
Getting some small "upgrades" done on the rig this month. The list was very small after our long trip.
Also knocking out the second oil change and 3rd tire rotation, getting ready for a Christmas run to Little Rock.
CHEERS!!
