I have an '01 AF 23-5H...(Dry weight 5920/GVWR 8800).  I may go over 8000 pounds next season as I add a generator to the receiver on the back of the 5er.  I travel with full water ((2 big commercial water plants bottle and sell for big bucks our pure local water...we get it free from the tap and I wouldn't leave home without it) and full propane, 15 gals.   I plan on weighing it before heading out over spring break...I tow with a '99 Chevy 2500 6.0 liter auto 3.73s, ext cab...

AF 23-5A pulled by a F150 7700 series.  Don't haul with water and other tanks are empty.  No real options (there are not many anyway).  Don't recall the weight off hand but we are under the trucks towing capacity if we are carefull with the added stuff we put inside.  Not much room to store extra stuff in this model.  Picture in Gallery.

We have never weighed our trailer fully loaded, but it's probably around the same weight as DuraFox.

Our 2004 29-5T is pulled by a 2001 V10, 250 Ford, crew cab truck. The hitch we are using to pull our 2004, 29-5T Arctic Fox ... It's a Reese Quik Slide - 16K.  Will put this info in our signature.

The hitch is a Signiture 18000 lbs slider. This setup has gotten me in to places I had to pull in 4 Low and up against trees.

We pull our 27-5L with a 2002 Chevy 2500 Duramax/Allison trans crew cab short bed truck.  The hitch is a 15K Lil Rocker, non-slider.  Loaded weight is probably around 10K.  Options include 16 inch wheels/tires; they contribute to a smooth ride and easy pull and are worth the extra $.

29-5T fully loaded around 12,200 lbs. See signature for most add-ons. Northern fans throughout with Max-aire covers. Upgraded water pump to Sur-Flo's top of the line ... dual Trojan 30 XHS batteries. Solid over head cabinet doors - no tacky foxy mirrors except in bedroom.
