How Much Does A 25′ Travel Trailer Weigh? [Inc. 16 examples]

When considering travel trailers, weight is a big concern because it affects decisions down the line about the layout and amenities in the trailer. Both 25’ long and 30’ long travel trailers are popular, but we’ve specifically researched 25’ long travel trailers for this post. So, if you have wondered how much a 25' travel trailer weighs, we've got the answer for you. 

The average weight range for a 25’ travel trailer is between 3,600 and 4,500-pounds, without the weight of full water tanks and gear included. Factoring in full water tanks and gear, owners can expect to add 1500-pounds to the overall weight. 

Keep reading because we will get into the specifics of what is known as dry weight vs. cargo weight to let you know exactly how to determine the weight of a travel trailer. We will also give you examples of 25’ travel trailers and discuss how much weight they can carry safely. 

Why Travel Trailer Weight Matters

One of the most important things to know about your travel trailer is the weight because weight tells you whether you can tow the trailer safely with your vehicle. You want to make sure that you're not exceeding what you can safely tow with your vehicle. You also want to make sure that your trailer does not sway on the highway.

How Do You Determine The Weight Of A Travel Trailer?

The trailer manufacturer should provide the trailer's dry weight, or unloaded weight, when you purchase a new travel trailer. We will discuss dry weight more in depth in the next section.

If you are purchasing a pre-owned travel trailer, or the seller did not provide the dry weight at purchase, check the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website to determine the trailer's weight. The specifications of the travel trailer should be available both in the manual and on the website.

How Much Can You Actually Tow?

Understanding how much your truck can actually tow is the next step toward safely hauling a travel trailer. Before getting into detail about your truck’s towing capacity, we need to break down the difference between dry weight versus cargo weight. 

Trailer Dry Weight

Dry weight is the initial weight of your travel trailer without anything loaded onto it. When you talk with the manufacturer or look at travel trailers online, this is the weight you are getting. No tanks, no clothes, no people, and nothing else is included in this weight. 

Trailer Cargo Weight

Cargo weight is the weight of your trailer filled with everything you plan to pack when taking a trip. For example, the dry weight range for 25’ travel trailers is 3,600 to 4,500-pounds. So, if your dry weight is 3,800-pounds, then by adding all of your gear the cargo weight could total 6,200-pounds. Cargo weight fluctuates depending on what you choose to bring. Water tanks (potentially adding 1,500-pounds), luggage, furniture, people and so on all contribute to the cargo weight and must be factored in.

Vehicle Towing Capacity

Let's get back to the question at hand: how much can you actually tow? You must be certain that your vehicle can handle the cargo weight of a fully loaded travel trailer. 

Check the owner’s manual for weight specifications. The curb weight should be provided; the total mass of your vehicle fully loaded with equipment, not including passengers and a travel trailer in tow. The GCVW should be provided; the maximum gross weight limit of the loaded tow vehicle combined with the travel trailer's weight. If you cannot find both numbers in the owner's manual, take a look at the vehicle's engine plate, where weight limits are often permanently listed. Use these figures to determine your vehicle's towing capacity by subtracting the vehicle's curb weight from the Gross Combined Vehicle Weight (GCVW).

You must be sure to not surpass the max towing capacity which is the maximum weight that is safe for your vehicle to tow. Also, it is imperative to understand how your vehicle's payload capacity affects the overall weight while towing. Please read our article about a truck’s payload, so that you get a good understanding of how to avoid exceeding your vehicle's max towing capacity. 

For a more in-depth analysis of this to know your vehicle's limits, please read our article on towing capacity. If you plan to be in the market for a new truck, while simultaneously purchasing a travel trailer, that opens your towing options more because you can cater your vehicle choice depending on the trailer. Whereas, already owning a tow vehicle means you will spec the travel trailer to pair safely with the vehicle.
