Has anyone here weighed the 26.5 MB - preferably empty ? I'd like to know how the weight is balanced side to side.

 An LD's weight distribution can change from one model year to another, depending on what tweaks LD has done since the last version.
 Your best bet is actually weighting your for the most accurate numbers.

I did not have mine weighed empty.  That is not how it is driven.  I had it with full gas and fresh water tank, empty waste tanks, full of all my "stuff", with one significant after market item - 6 large AGM batteries just behind the passenger cab seat, and no batteries in the outside battery compartment.  With me in the driver's seat (I'm a BIG guy) my rig weights were: Left front, 2300 Right Front, 2300 Left Rear, 4700 Right Rear, 4800 lbs.
Front Axle 4600 Rear Axle 9500 Total rig weight 14,100 pounds

Thanks Ken, good info. I was a little concerned that the drivers side would be way heavy.
