estimate?

Well Im out on the market for a new 5ver. graduating. Dunno exactly where i wanna go but will be here for a while probably

To me rent is just like throwin my wallet out the window. Dont wanna buy a house when i dont plan on staying here. So buying a decent 5ver for a couple months while i find my footings seems like a good idea

Problem i have is going through the RVsearch and rvtrader.com and what not. They dont advertise weights. Just wonderin what a 35-40 ft weight with 2 or 3 slide outs.? Im sure someone has one around here if ya have any ideas

Well many of the camper mfg will do many things to inside of each's own to make it nice, that also adds weight.....My point is from one mfg'r to another they are going to differ by a little or a lot.
A Salem (Forest River) will be around 9200 lbs.
If you go with a Couger (Keystone) it will weight around 10,000.
If you went with a Conquest trailer you will be around 8000.
So it really depends on who you go with. And what all options you have on it.
I hope that helps.
For some info go to www.forestriverinc.com.
Just giving information, not a sales pitch.
If i can be of any other assistance, let me know.

Really depends on the options inside...I'd guess the weight around 9000 to 13000 +/- 1000. This is only a guess so don't hold me to it. Different units/brands will vary.
