Trailer weight

[kcosper]

I just purchased an old tent trailer - a 1971 Starcraft Galaxy 6.  I am trying to find out the total weight and tongue weight of it, in order to see if my small truck can pull it.  Anyone have that information??

I don't have an answer for you, but I would suspect a trailer that old has seen some modifications along the way.  Those mods would chage the weight, so the "official" weights probably don't mean much.

The best weight you would get would be for someone to take it to a scale and have it weighed.  Costs about $8 at many truck stops.
