Arctic Fox 29V Weight Chart

 

We weigh our Arctic Fox frequently.  There is a Washington State Patrol weigh station about 15 miles away and the officers have a practice of leaving the scales on so that folks can weigh their vehicles even when the scales are closed. 

Periodically, we also weigh the coach by driving just the left wheels onto the scales and then the right wheels.  Some 'experts' claim that this isn't accurate, but when  we compare the sum of the two sides with the axle weights and find only a small difference it's clear to us that it can provide excellent results--IF you take the time to double check.
