Revised list 131 trailers' size & weight pg 1 - graph pg 8

[S. Heisley]

I tried zooming in on your posted images and everything goes really blurry.

Mind hosting the spreadsheet out on Google Docs or similar?

(I also run a hosting business and will gladly host it for free as well)

I sent you a PM, regarding the above.

The Big Pink (foamie) weighs 900 lbs and is 10' 3" x 5' 7".

Oh Boy! Another foamie to add!!! Thanks for that. Of course, because of space, I had to round your size to 6x10' ...It sort of comes out close to the same.
I'll wait for a couple more trailer weigh-ins before I post a revised spreadsheet; but, I added it to the file.

Thanks again. It looks like you did a nice job!

Just got the 5x13 benroy weighed at the certified scales loaded for a 4 day weekend and it came in at 2100lbs.
I figure the 220lb additional tongue weight would about net out with the additional gear we were carrying.

Twinight, thanks for your information. I didn't have a column for 5x13' but had just enough room to add it!
I still want a couple more adds before I post a new spreadsheet; so, it'll be a bit before I publish but yours will be there when I do!

Congratulations on completing your build. I like the forest scenery on the sides.

5x13 slouchy weekender came in at 1650 lbs on the truck stop scales! That includes mattress and bedding, galley stocked with everything but perishables, and a 12v battery. I still have to add three cabinet doors. ceiling plywood (1/4 inch) and interior trim. I figure another 150lbs should do it.

Hi, Chuckles:

Thanks for your input. Your build is coming along nicely. I think you may be over estimating how much more your build will weigh when you add those doors and trim. I'm going to list it at 1700 lbs for now and, if you get it weighed again and I'm too far off, let me know and I'll change it. I'll try to get a new set of pages scanned in, hopefully, sometime this week.

This month, I added another cabinet and shelf to mine. I weighed the cabinet before I put it in and it weighed 7 lbs; but, I forgot to weight the little 3.5 x 14" shelf; so, I'm going to up my trailer's weight by 9 lbs, to 1160 lbs, with the next posting. That's probably pretty close.

plus another coat of epoxy and three coats of spar varnish... probably a few other bits-n-pieces I'm forgetting as well. I'll weigh it again when its done (if there is such a thing)

Okay, I'll list it at the 1800 that you suggested (1650+150) and you can still let me know later, if you final total differs.

I would like to add my hybrid foamie weight to your list. I used your chart to aim my build towards of which I met.

Wow! After Andrew took my information and made it into a graph, here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=60392 I thought that I would be able to let my original thread go to the "House of Dead Threads". But, you've breathed new life into it. I actually had added a few more that I didn't post here; and, since yours is a foamie, which the chart has very few of, and it is unique, I will try to add it in to the old sheets. I am running out of space on the sheet, width-wise; but, will try to add it in, print, scan and overlay the existing chart.

Please note that your build is also listed in Teardrops & Tiny Trailers with Lifting Roofs, at the top of Non-Traditional Designs, here:

You did a very good job. It is a beautiful build. ...Love the colors.

The list of trailers has been updated with two more trailers. See Page 1.

Please note that while I can not add any more size columns, if your trailer fits into one of the existing trailer size columns, I can still add your trailer and its weight.

Hey Sharon, I'm wondering if one of the columns for the largest size (or other less common size) campers could be converted to a catchall column strictly based on "X and above" square footage. The lbs/sq ft data might still be useful and it would allow more players onto the list w/o adding more columns.

Dunno, KC. Lemme think 'bout it.
