Wildcat weight

Just curious how close the weight sticker is to the actual weight. My 7,320lb 27rl seems to pull just as hard as my deck over with a load weighing at 13k. Maybe it's just that it's a wind sail.

The weight sticker is the weight minus battery, propane, and any dealer items installed. I weighed my evo on the way home when I first picked it up and it was about 200 lbs heavier than the sticker. I added dual tanks, dual batteries, and a wdh at the dealer. Seems pretty close to me as far as my EVO goes.

pretty close on mine, sticker was right at 11,000 lbs...CAT scale with full water and our stuff in it 12,020. seems about right.

The frontal area of the camper and the drag it produces is surprising...no comparison to a low deck trailer or car hauler.
