What does your 2015 2104S weigh???

itgoes211 · 03-18-2015, 06:26 PM

OK I am curious what the sticker weight is on your 2104 from the factory with all the options..... I am looking to get one with all the options but haven't found one online with a picture of the as shipped weight sticker.

Thanks

I keep waiting for someone to answer this post for you. I have mine out at storage right now but can tell you it is 3,8-- something . Will get you the weight next time I am by the trailer, my title says empty weight of 4000 carrying capacity of 900 and gross weight 4900. Of course part of the gross weight would be tongue weight and the axles are rated at 2,200 each. Hope this helps some.....

I just didn't want to be too big of a pain by bombarding people with newbie questions... lol.... But here is some info I am looking for since I will have to special order a 2104S and I can't see one first hand...

1. How do you feel about the available storage? It seems limited.
2. If you have the murphy bed option is there storage under the couch? I have seen some where there is like a drawer
3. How do you like the shower? I wonder if its too small and also if the shower curtain gives issues with keeping water in.

No pain!
We all enjoy answering questions or we wouldn't be here!

Will try to awnser your questions. We have a 2013 2104.
1. For the 2 of us it works ok. Just have to learn to pack well . Would like to have more but it works.
2. Don't have the murphy bed. I believe that you lose the pass thru storage in the front.
3. I'm a pretty good sized guy don't have any problems. Make sure that your shower curtains arelong enough aldo get a couple of 36" splash guars from hd or lowes and that wlii keep the water in.
We all have been newbie at one time or another so don't eorry about asking questions.
Ask away.

We have a 2012 2104 but not the slide model. Our murphy bed has storage under the sofa. Not a drawer but the sofa seat flips up to access it. It's quite a large area though. We fit our 9x9 outside rug, two camp chairs, small outdoor end table, various crazy camp things like flamingos, camp signs, spinners that my wife likes, coffee maker, sodastream, etc. In lieu of the pass-through, the two front outside storage areas are quite small. I keep my leveling pads, BAL X-chocks, tool kit in one and stabilizer jack pads, hoses and my sewer drainage kit in the other. Under the dinette is another decent sized storage area too. I'm also decent sized and don't have much problem with the shower. It's tall enough but a little cramped side to side. We have not had any shower curtain problems. The shower head is terrible so replace that with a Bodyspa Oxygenics head and you will be a lot more happy.

We have a 2014 2104S and we love it! it's just my wife & I and Bella our Golden Retreiver. I think it has plenty of storage for what we bring and try to watch what we pack as far as weight. We don't have the Murphy Bed so we have ample space in the pass thru. I haven't had it weighed so have I have no idea what it is. My F150 does a great job of getting the job done pulling it through the mountains. Our shower has never leaked as long as you make sure the curtain is long enough and is inside the base. Hope this helps.

I made it out to check the weight on my trailer and it was a little higher than I remembered....dry weight was 3,987, cargo limit of 843 for a total of 4,820. Of course part of the total will be tongue weight so that brings the gross weight down for the 2,200 lb each axles. Hope this helps.

We love our 2104s. As others have suggested the shower is a little small and you need to add splash guards. Its a bit cramped at night but we have slept 5 in it, weather was nice so we stayed outside most of the time. Used a inflatable twin mattress. my main complaint is the storage and lack of counter space. The cabinets above the slide out need 5 doors instead of the 3 thats on it. Its a great little camper for short trips not sure how we would like it for long trips lasting weeks at a time.

sad thing is when you fill the water tank roughly 300lbs of your 843lbs is used up. not much left over for cargo

Considering the average user loads @ 1000# yes that is sad.
What is even worse is people don't realize it and over load there unit then when they have axle and tire problems they blame forest river.

i am 6-4, 250 lbs and I can shower in the 2109s. Its tight, the shower curtain may get a little Grabby and as we all know, never drop the soap. With that said, adding splash guards, an actual shower liner and putting a small basket in the shower corner go a long way towards fixing this. Also, replace the shower head, you will be glad you did.

For storage... I don't have the murphy bed, nor do i want it. I have plenty of storage in the pass through. In reality, we have very little stored above the bed or above the sofa. Last year at a float trip a storm came up. we had 8 people and 2 dogs comfortably in the trailer hanging out. (3 on the sofa, 3 on the bed, 1 cooking and another in a camp chair by the door. Dogs on the floor)

our yellow sticker says 3820. I have the oven, the slide topper, the power jack. I don't the new package that comes in brown.. but i have everything else. Our 21fbrs is a 2015 in title only and is exactly the same as the 2109s.

if you want additional info, I will try my best to answer any specifics you have.

We've got the murphy bed in our Rockwood. The previous owner added diamond-plated pickup truck toolbox behind the hitch, just in front of the diamond plate rock-guard.

While it doesn't entirely compensate for the lost pass-through storage, it adds a great deal of storage for outside-stuff (hoses, wheel chocks, batteries, etc). Aesthetically, it looks like it came front the factory that way. It's lock-able and I think...a very functional modification.

I was grateful for the creativity and work done by the previous owner.
