2021 Flagstaff 26FKBS real weights

[luv2skyski]

The brochure lists the unloaded vehicle weight at 6608 and the dry hitch weight at 796.

Calculated using Towingplanner.com mine came in at 7100 and 1060.

My options from standard are as follows:

• 12 volt, 11 cu foot residential fridge
• day/night roller shades
• 15,000 BTU a/c upgrade
• 2nd roof a/c with heat
• small and large slide toppers
• free standing table and chairs

Also, truck and camper were empty apart from the 50 amp cord and 2 power adapter dogbones in the forward exterior compartment.
Truck was full of fuel and the propane tanks were full.

Here's the figures from the CAT scale:









The Sherline scale was spot on:



I also figured out the ratio from the hitch point to the jack point. (.95 - exactly the same figure they have in the owners manual BTW...)

FWIW: The Sherline weight scale manual is an incredible resource with an abundant amount of information. Excellent reading even if you don't own one of their scales.

Very cool seeing TowingPlanner used (it's my site).

I'm surprised that the dry weight of the trailer is 500 lbs. heavier than the advertised dry weight. I mean, I knew they were fictitious but that's impressive. I guess with all of the options, it adds up quick- the extra A/C and the slide toppers, I'm betting are the lionshare of it.

Of course, the battery isn't accounted for and I've heard mixed things on if actual propane in the tank is included or not.

Thanks so much for that site. What a great tool!

I always heard that those numbers were fictitious but I figured they'd be a little closer.
Just wanted anyone else interested in a 26FKBS to know the "real" numbers.

I've got some "loaded for the weekend" weights to post too. I'll get those up in a couple of days.

Great job setting up the WDH. Only lost 60 lbs from the front axle. Impressive.
