I had someone ask about my GVWR and Axle. I was able to find the information on a completion slip and it is GVWR 11,650 and the axle is Dexter rubber torsion 7000. What does that mean and is it good or bad?
I am also trying to find how much water my fresh water tank holds. Where would I get that information?I have the serial number, should I call the manufacturer?

GVWR = Maximum allowable weight of said vehicle. If it's for a truck, this includes tongue weight - lots of people forget about that part. The axles have 7000# ratings each. If you have two, then they can handle up to 14000#, but the limiting factor is always the lowest applicable rating which in this case is the GVWR of 11650#.

Sorry, I can't speak to the average weight of 3-horse trailers, but the dog in the avatar is a vizsla. Good eye. Most people don't even know what they are.

I went on a 10 day ride in Hungary back in '88 and the leader of the ride had 2 Viszla's - "Yakshi" and "Varni". We all fell in love with those two as they ran with us every step of the ride + double the miles as they wandered all over the place. When we stopped for lunch, they came in to the resturant with us, and would sit in our laps as we drove in a van from wherever we kept the horses that night to the hotel.
They are wonderful dogs and I have seen a few now and then here in Fla.

Out of the Sporting Group, the Visla is one of my favorites. They are not as hyper as some of the other sporting dogs but have the same loving personality.
