Thats just for the frame, right? I was considering the entire base weight of the trailer.
Whats the total weight of your trailer?
That is the weight for the entire chassis, wheels, axle, frame, lights, all....
Chassis Weight: 343.00 lbs
Roller Jack 17.00
4 Stabilizers (L/W): 16.00
Spare Tire 10.00
I bought my kit from Red Trailers and I think they are quoting the shipping weight, including the box it came in. They give the weights for most of their kits at their website,
www.redtrailers.com. Most trailer sites give the weights. For instance, I looked up a light weight 4x8' Harbor Freight trailer a while back and found it was 122 lbs.
It's been a while since worked on my trailer original weights and some things have changed; but, to give you a better idea, below is a portion of my original trailer calculations. Since it's in an Excel spreadsheet, it may loose spacing when I copy it in:
