Trailer weight questions

my experience trls weight are diffrent all depends on who make them and materials they use,, a 53ft great dane trl weighs more than a 53ft utility trl and a sea container doesnt weight the same as a road trl

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here as I've only pulled 28' doubles, but I'd NEVER put the pup in the lead in a Rocky Mountain set. You'd be putting the heavier 48' on the end of the whip, and I'd guess that could get hairy at speed, particularly in wind/rain/snow. I'm sure someone with appropriate experience will be along, but I'd say heaviest weight/longest wheelbase first.

 

Heavier and longer always goes in the front..... especially the heavier.

 

If it's legal here in the states I would if you got that much weight in a pup and a empty. They run em like that in Canada but not 100% sure here or state. I run Rocky sets 95% of the time, I've never ran it like that. Heard their pretty stable though.

 

I dont know about the 28's but the lighter 53's my co has are around 13.3k. Id imagine a 48' would be somewhere around there. This would standard trailers. Id guess liftgates would add 2-3k to them.

 

Probally. Best bet would be if you have a scale at your yard weigh your bobtail then weigh the combo. Also depends on if they have added stuff like etrack securement rails, heater unit, liftgate, ect and there constuction.
