    Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I read that you want just the body weight, not a 'whole' car weight. If this is right, take your empty trailer to to a truck scale and record the measurement. Then load the bare body on the trailer and reweigh it. I don't think you'll find bare shell weights listed, even on the net.

    I agree

     



    You are correct I was just wanting the body weight, but I appreciate the carnut site. I thought of taking it to the scales I was just throwing this out here just in case someone else has done this.

    I might be stuck to loading it.

    Thanks
