Dry weight of 9,238 lbs (1991 spec.) leaves only 2,262 lbs left. How much does a generator weigh?Isn't the tongue weight about 10% of the trailer?Is the actual weight with driver and "stuff"?Trying to understand the math here...~Jim

Dry weight of 9,238 lbs (1991 spec.) leaves only 2,262 lbs left. How much does a generator weigh?" About 250 pounds, as I recall. But unlike most RV makers, who cheat on weights by not counting the A/C and generator, Lazy Daze includes those in all its calculations (e.g., dry weight), so you needn't subtract them separately.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
