Title: 11FK hitch weight
Post by: farmboy on February 23, 2016, 09:53:17 AM
I don't know if it is a correction or an actual change, or a mistake, but the hitch weight on the 11FK is now listed as 410 pounds.  That will rule out a number of TV's that might otherwise be able to tow it.  Is the hitch weight for the 11FK 410 pounds?   And the dry rate is also higher than listed in the past; is that correct?  Thanks.

The dry weights and hitch weights posted on the livinlite web site are accurate.  They have been averaging them.  Each one is weighed as they come off the line.

Thanks for responding; not what I wanted to hear, but good to know.   Too heavy for me and my TV.

Maybe that's because they put 2 20 or 30 pound on the tongue instead of one?

I don't see many change with my cl11fk and I'm pretty shure mine doesn't weight that much...

When the snow will melt I will weight it, we will see.

Hitch weights really depend on how you load your camper.  In the 11FK most all of your storage while traveling would be in the rear under the dinette behind the axles decreasing the hitch weight considerably.

The axle location on the camper is designed so that the typical hitch weight is approx. 10-15% of the camper's dry weight. There will be variations in the hitch weights based on options and floorplans, but remember, you can always adjust your hitch weight by shifting your cargo load either behind or in front of the axle(s) in order to achieve the smoothest ride for your particular tow vehicle.

Hello, 

I had time to go to the weight station to get my camplite weighted...
So here's the results: 
Weight on the axle: 2200 pounds
Weight on the tongue: 350 pounds

The weignt on the tongue include a gr24 battery and a full 20 pound propane tank. 

Thanks!
