Real world weight of 3150BHD

Hoping some you guys with the 3150 or maybe RVGUY can help me out. I see that the dry weight of the trailer is listed as 6330. But that doesn't seem to include the "options and packages". It appears that the AC, awning, enclosed belly and other appliances are considered options.

Has anyone had their camper weighed on a scale?

Thanks for any help.

Generally, a fully loaded 3150 will go out the door weighing about 6,600 lbs.

Maybe we will see RV Guy at Hershey if they get the mess cleaned up from the flooding. The pictures out of the Hershey Park Drive area are pretty bad.

I never thought of that.

PTM will have a rep on site every day with multiple reps there for the weekend.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will start drying out soon!

I had huge amount of water in my basement. Unofficial rain guage...my 6 gallon bucket was full in two days which equates to 24 inches. Hershey Zoo had to put down 2 bison they were drowning......water everywhere.. Pizza Hut and nearby Bob Evans were completely submerged. Hershey's entire waste treatment will be down an entire week..I guess we do use porta potties at the show so that should not have an effect.
Anyway...I was in the same boat as you debating between the 3150 and 318bhs ..went with the 318bhs...just too many things I preferred except the weight. I believe that PT publishes the most accurate out the door weight on their units because all of their units come loaded with all of the goodies.

For the better part of the last two days every exit road out of the town I live in was closed due to water or erosion of the road surface. Some are gradually reopening but currently I could not get to Hershey from my town, a distance of 30 miles. Hopefully in the next 5 days the infrastructure will be repaired and the show will go on.
PaDave, I hope you did not incur any major loss. I only sustained minor basement flooding.

I hope the show remains open, but more importantly you guys up there stay safe and be careful.

Sorry for being late to the party on this one, but 'just in case' you are indirectly asking about what you need to pull the 3150....we pull ours with my 2009 Ford F-150 FX4 Crew Cab 4x4 and it pulls like a dream. Just get a good equalizer hitch and off you go. I was very skeptical at first, but after a full summer of towing it has been great. And my wife and I absolutely LOVE this trailer.
