Bill -

I have weighed my '87 Westy on an accurate scale.  With a full load of fuel
and water, all my camping gear, and more than 200 pounds of rocks I was
hauling back for the garden (Three wheelbarrow loads) it weighed 4400
pounds.  Empty it was less than 4000, so that transporter should be fine.

Where are you ending up in Idaho?

Subject: Transporting a Westy

Hello all,

I plan on renting a vehicle transporter from Ryder to haul FreeBird down to
Idaho. It's specs are no more than 4200lbs and 16 ft long. With the Westy at
15ft, there is no problem but what I would like to know is the weight of the
Westy, without being loaded down. Has anyone transported their Westy that
way with them or U-Haul? This is not a tow dolly.

TIA
