I never weighed that 11 foot camper, but always guessed it weighed about 2500-2800 pounds. Eventually, I added air bags, 12.00X16.5 rear tires and a Hellweg rear sway bar. I also made a modification so the auxiliary springs were always in contact with the rubber pads. Those add-ons helped slightly.
