damn, feather"lite" needs to change their name. my steel 2h slant is 3700#, surely 3 more feet and bigger tires dont weigh 1000#?
Yes 3' and bigger tires and axles probably do weigh at least a 1000#'s more
a good rule of thumb for aluminum trailers is about 250#'s per foot of box length.

ive always figured 225 for alum and 250 for steel. i looked up the 9408, its only 17 feet? thats only 2 feet longer than mine..............

Its a gooseneck. It just has a dressing/tackroom in it. You should have heard the people at the RV place I took it to when I had the AC installed. You want an ac in that? There's no where for a tv!!

if the 9408 weighs 4800lbs empty looks like we are both wrong! at 4800lbs divided by 17 = 282lbs per foot. use to work as a factory rep and most of the trailers we weighed averaged about 250lbs per foot of box length on an all aluminum trailer.
