Recently purchased our first travel trailer, coming from a pop-up to a travel trailer is big change for us. Was wondering if anyone could give us some advise:
Need awning, are they hard to install yourself?
we were told trailer weigh was 5080lbs does this sound right?
Any ideas on finding owners manual
Thanks David & Laura

I have an 07 and the dry weight is 6000lbs..owners manual doesnt tell much honestly you will learn more rite here on the site just ask your question most likely someone else has had it happen or knows how to take care of your issue. welcome to travel trailer camping !!!!!!!!

a quick search on Google, gave me this webpage:

http://http://www.pawprint-trailers....-plans-rv.html

it shows a fictional "dry" weight of 5340lbs. add about 400lbs. for the normal "options" and you can figure it weighs around 5750lbs., before water, propane and cargo.
in fact, there's a '06 28A in Georgia, for sale and the dealer lists its actual weight at 5780lbs. so i was close.

the actual weight from the factory should be on a sticker, inside one of the cabinet doors inside the trailer.

and forget the owner's manual. none of FR's manuals are model-specific. they are generic and not worth the cost of paper it's printed on.
you'd be better off buying a RV book. and you can download most of the important manuals, for things like the fridge/freezer, a/c, oven, furnace, conveter, awning, and so on.
