RunningMan Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi. does anyone know the unladen weight of each model RV and then the weight when full with fresh/waste water and supplies? on many a forum i see this question asked about the Sunrader Chinook Dolphin.. but not much info. Unladen weight Sunrader: 18 foot = 21 foot = Weight when full = Unladen weight Dolphin: Unladen = Full : Unladen Weight Chinook: Unladen= Full= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Don't think anyone has ever documented that, at least for all models and it wasn't available from the manufacturers. Only GVWR is really known and many of them exceed that. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back East Don Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 As a guy who both asked and answered this question this week, I can only say that the full weight is kind of a variable. There is Max weight. I found the GVRW for my 87 Micro Mini Itasca via the Winnebago web site. Someone turned me onto a site this week for Dolphins at nationalrv.org. Information is out there. And like I did last night, you can always ask about the one you need info on. A lot of the info you find might just be GVWR but absent anything else, not a bad number to have. Alternatively do a quick search for public scales in your area. I went to a local truck stop with mine this week because I was curious to know where I sat after taking crap out and replacing it. It was not like I weighed every screw so it is hard to tell. Empty yours out as best you can and go get it weighed. Figure out the maximum rating and gauge what you want to take along. Then load her up and go weigh it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi. does anyone know the unladen weight of each model RV and then the weight when full with fresh/waste water and supplies? on many a forum i see this question asked about the Sunrader Chinook Dolphin.. but not much info. Here's a few specs. 1977-1978 Toyota Chinook with pop-up roof is 3250 lbs. "dry weight." Same is 3470 lbs. "wet weight." "Wet weight" means all fuel, water, and propane tanks full but no cargo or passengers. Winnebago Micro-Warrior model 319RB is 4860 lbs. "wet weight." 1981 Champion Galavan on a Toyota model 400 is 3,730 lbs. wet. I have road tests that give the wet weights for the 18' and 21' Sunraders but don't have the specs here on this computer. I can post later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passman Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Weighed my 1986 21ft Sunrader on two different weigh station scales last year, came out to Front = 1760lb, Rear = 3880lb, Total = 5640, that was unloaded 1/2 tank gas and other tanks empty. I'm curious what it weighs without stove refrigerator, propane tank, furnace, hot water heater and rooftop AC. I'll probably take it back to the scales next month when I get the cupboards and rest of the interior out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Believe the Gala van was only manufactured in 1978 and 1979. I would be interested in seeing documation of later model production. I'm trying to compile as much info on this model as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back East Don Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi. does anyone know the unladen weight of each model RV African or European? (Monty Python) Sorry, couldn't help myself. I managed to last a day before the urge just overwhelmed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to compile as much info on this model as I can. I posted the wrong year (need to wear my glasses). That weight is from a Woodalls Camping magazine road-test published in November of 1978. Here are some "highlights" from that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
