TT Weight Specs

Where can I find the weight specs for the various AS TTs? Not just the new units (presumably available on the Airstream site) but, for example, the difference between a 2006 Classic and a 2010 Safari?

I have a spreadsheet that I put TV (GVWR, Max Tow, FAWR, RAWR) and TT characteristics (Dry/Shipping weight, Cargo Capacity, GVWR, tongue weight, tongue distribution) into and it checks trailers for compliance and margins on axle and gross limits for the TV.

But I need specs on older TTs to use it.

Thanks,

Al

You can find Airstream's floorplans and specs including optimistic estimates of trailer and tongue weight on their site but the information is more complete in some years than others.

Here they are up through 2003.

Now where could I find a spreadsheet that I could put in TV (GVWR, Max Tow, FAWR, RAWR) and TT characteristics (Dry/Shipping weight, Cargo Capacity, GVWR, tongue weight, tongue distribution) into and it checks trailers for compliance and margins on axle and gross limits for the TV? That would be cool.

Published weights and real world weights are considerably different. I suspect that you're setting up a spread sheet to find the optimum trailer/TV combination. For instance, will the weight for a particular TT reflect a full tank of water or not. And so on.

My TV/TT Rating Workbook

Thanks to everyone for the data. In response to a request, here is a copy of the workbook I generated. As stated in the Notes tab, it is a work in progress. I have not found an error in a while but that does not mean there aren't any. Use this at your own risk!

I think the notes page explains how to use it adequately. I left the data for my truck in the TV tab. You can enter yours as appropriate.

If you find an error or think of a useful enhancement, let me know.

Error found and corrected

I found an error in the alternate cargo calculation area. It was working until I improved it :-)

Sorry for any inconvenience, but as I said in the notes, there may be more.....

Here is the updated workbook.

When you visit the Airstream website and click "compare" it will show all the models, weights, and tongue weights.
