Flagstaff Fifth Wheels

 

How do I determine towing weights of 5th wheelers?

 

The towing weight of a 5th wheeler is determined by subtracting the hitch weight from the overall weight of the 5th wheeler. So the towing weight of the Australian Flagstaff 23 (dry - tare) is approximately 2250kg (depending on level of accessories) less the hitch weight of approx 350kg or a towing weight of approximately 1900kg. Even fully laden the towing weight is still approximately 2200kg (depending how the weight is distributed), which is within the towing capacity of many standard pick-ups.
