Last time I checked was in Ashland OR, they have lots of scales in Oregon.
Front 2550 Rear 2750 Both 5300. This was while loaded for travel.

A more precise record was this one:
11/7/98 Weighed it on the scale at the dump, with 2 165# people in front, 1
gal gas, water tank on red, propane full.
       Front: 2580
       Rear: 2480
       Both: 5120 Hey, that's what the scale said!

I'm very happy with the 2.0L ABA engine. Power is good, I often have to
downshift to third uphill on the highway in order to stay above 75 mph.
Luckilly 3rd is good for 82 mph with my gearing.
I just wish I had a way to clear the engine codes without an expensive
tool. It was running pretty poor and I think it was all because I let the
air cleaner get very dirty once. I had the codes cleared today and it ran
much better.
