The sticker on my six pak 8ft self contained says 1855 with 50 lbs ice in the ice box. I have a refer so I guess options are extra and the self contained part adds extra. Never weighed it separatly but my truck weighs about 6100 and with it loaded it weighs about 8300 so I guess the camper is 2200 full. I have weighed as much as 9200 with food etc for a 3 month 10000 mile trip.

OK, this may be rocket science or somthing but Why don't find yourself a CAT scale and weigh the truck then go back the same day and weigh the truck and camper together
