yeah, that's where I got the weight... off the bill of lading.  Now that I
think about it 3800 sounds more like it, but that's what it says, 2868.
Unfortunately they don't charge by weight anyway!  Sorry if that's
misinformation.

uh, is that a misprint?? my 88 non-camper non-syncro weighs in at 3540
completely empty ... and i know the camper stuff is about 300 lbs
more, and the syncro stuff adds even more weight. i might believe 3868
lbs, but even that would be kinda stretching it ... my 87 non-syncro
camper weighs 3960 lbs  empty.

?? if that's what they put on the bill of laden, you got off really
lucky!! :)
